    I mean, that sounds like saying we forgot the power of money or friendship. I think we know, but when we’re talking about any sort of economy it’s easy to see it as a game that you aren’t properly prepared to play.

      A game im not prepared to play?

      How do I even respond to that? Im talking about love. You’re immediately concerned with the books. Tell me, how do you budget love? Would you look at your son and say, “I am your shield and your sword but it comes at a cost.” If thats the case I need you to learn what love is.

        The royal you.

        I was not really talking about family, but that is still a thing. A child may feel unloved because their parent(s) spend too much time working, or because of conditions they are forced to endure. Even if the parents are doing their best.

        Needing to “learn” what love is, completely in-line with what I’m saying though. Specifically because having love and finding love are vastly different. Also a whole lot more blocking factors for finding, different situations.

          Blah blah blah. Minimize, pontificate, deflect. Im not debating you bro.

          Love is love. Stop gatekeeping.

              The loneliness epidemic is spurred on by people who fundamentally dont understand how to love. They do exactly what you do. They look at money. They look at culture. They look at class. They look at status.

              They dont look at their own feelings of love and try to understand what it is.
