'Do Dogs Feel Love?'
"The highest form of love, agape love, which is completely unconditional, is something that people often have to work at or grow into. Agape love seems to come naturally between parent and child, but it’s more difficult between husband and wife, and harder still between friends. To love someone regardless of what wrongs they have done you is very difficult for humans."
"Learning to know somebody intimately is often the beginnings of dislike, sometimes even of contempt."
"A dog, however, is born with an endless capacity for agape love, and doesn’t even have to work at it...He’s just happy you’re there. More amazing still, is that the love that dogs and owners feel for each other lasts a lifetime. This is the ideal love humans strive for, but often fail at."

Why do I feel that the above quote is so true? Esp the one in blue. Knowing someone, knowing too much disrupts and destroy friendship, or at least pricks the bubble of an ideal rainbow world.
Keep your distance,
near and far,
be a stone,
rock, mountain,
and the hollow trees,
in the roaring wind.
Keep a secret,
in and out,
manifest not,
in dear life,
and hidden long,
seem small after.
