humans

Very clever(?) parasites that manage not only to manipulate other lifeforms in order to fulfil their ever expanding desires, but also to brainwash themselves into believing that they are doing this for the good of these others.

"I enjoy hanging out with him when there is nobody else available, not because his pathetic existence makes me feel better about mine, and not because I am afraid of being alone,..... it's because we're friends and I think he needs company"

love

A handy and noble excuse for men to have sex and for women to have children. An seemingly reachable but impossible ideal that comsumes everybody on the planet in one way or another. The real things represented by this word are security, shelter from the terror of loneliness, possession, jealousy, fulfilment of childhood dreams, money, greed, diversion of attention from oneself.

I wonder... do animals make high and mighty excuses for reproduction?

Wanting to be constantly with another is often called love for this other but is also one of the most surefire ways to escape from oneself (what most people are really afraid of)
