Brian, For some reason, my computer at home will not let me cut and paste while on AOL. As you can probably tell, I am a poor typist, so in order to be tolerant( :-) ) with my shortcomings, I will just refer to what you said instead of putting it in (<< >>) form. I'm sorry if this make it more difficult to follow. You said that the people who received the type of love that I mentioned as unconditional were not thankful. I disagree with that, but can;t really argue the point since neither of us really knows and we just have our opinions. We will have to agree to disagree. It is the same with your opinion that the people who displayed that love had some ulterior motive. Again, I strongly disagree but can't relly prove anything. I will say that for some people they may have ulterior motives, and others may not. I think the people who undertake those actions in a moments notice, acting without thinking in a split second, can't have an ulterior motive because they are reacting and not thinking. That is as close as I can come to some sort of proof. An example of what I am talking about happened about six months or so ago. I saw it on the news. A women with a small child was suddenly attacked by a large dog(a rottweiler or doberman, I can't remember) The dog blind sided her and she never saw it coming. She put her infant (as the dog was biting her viciously, trying to get at her face/head/neck)on the top of a van. At that point, she cold have ran, or tried to protect herself. instead she used her body to keep the dog from jumping on top of the van. she suffered extensive injury until passerbys beat the dog away. I can' think of any ulterior motive she could have had in that split secnd when she got attacked and when decided to save her child from harm at her own expense. Mark
