An Observation..........

Any creature, as an expression of the instinct of self-preservation, will seek to control, or exercise power over, the source of anything it perceives as a need.

Likewise any circumstance or other creature seen as a threat to the continued satisfaction of that need.

In any human relationship, the party who cares the least (or who can bluff the other into believing they care the least) wields that power or control.

If you need love, you cannot love.

If you cannot love, you cannot be loved.

Thus endeth the entry............
