Because it just might well be. > no..i've been thinking these same sort of thoughts..but mine is more of the make time to love sort of thing..i dont' know many on the list personally here but the people i _do_ know at least something of have a tendency to WORK TOO DAMN HARD! (including me)..once in a while we need a reminder to make it more of a priority to hang out with that one person, go and see that other person, take an hour long bath..etc. etc..basically to love ourselves and take time to express our love for other people..instead of "oh i just have to get this one thing done" or "i don't have time to hang out this weekend because i have _x_ project i need to work on"..bell hooks wrote a great book on love called _all about love_ i highly rec. it anyway i'm on your team.. -k
