Love and “Mind Reading.”

It is possible that the single most important thing we can do to be awake, aware, adult human beings is to love ourselves, and then expand that definition of “self” to include at least one other person.

You may not WANT children, but finding and bonding to a human being who would be safe to raise children with, with whom you could spend at least 20 years of your life working, playing, loving, laughing and learning is such a basic goal that I am willing to consider it a nearly universal drive.
