You write great reviews of movies and books! I’m saddened by your melancholy outlook of your own life as a life that will possibly be lived alone. I’ve had a number of pets growing up, and while their love, loyalty, and devotion were strong and true, they do not compare to the love and loyalty, freely given, by another human being (soul).
I sincerely believe that this is a case where you have to give in order to receive. Loyalty to such a degree is earned through unselfish, and sometimes, unconscious giving.
I’ve been inspired to such loyalty and have given it without really understanding why. I learned later in life, that I had inspired such loyalty as well. It was a humbling experience. It comes with a risk and is usually paid with a high price. Mine occurred during my 31 years of military service (recently ended). The events and circumstances are hard to relate to unless you’ve experienced similar, yourself.
Much in life changes when viewed through the lens unselfish sacrifice, whether made by you or by one for you.
Forgive me my rant, it is not quite as eloquent as the writings and reviews that you have posted here.
Keep up the superb work, I read few content on this site and I think that your website is rattling interesting and has bands of excellent info.
