People use "love" as if it were an act of "giving" when really, in its most brute form, is an act of "taking."

People only love people because it makes THEM feel good. They wouldn't love anyone if it didn't make them feel a certain way.

So essentially, people only love others for themselves.

Itsn't it all a phoney, theatrical act??

Even when a mother says she loves her own child, she really only does so because it HER child and she wants to protect HER offspring. Because it is part of her.

A man or a woman who claim they love their spouse only do so because THEY THEMSELVES get something out of it.

It could be company, sex, money, security, helpful hand etc.

Nobody would love anyone if there was nothing in it for themselves.

People who adopt kids and love them only do it so they can feel good about themselves or pat themselves on the back. They think it's good karma or they'll get rewarded for it by God.

It sounds very depressing, but isn't that the cold hard truth??

Many schools of drama refer to the process of acting. There seems to as many interpretations of the process as there are plays. Does anybody have a definitive answer.

Our company are debating what they would do if the lottery sweep came up? I'm not a member and have said, "Ask not what the lottery can do for you but rather, what you can do for the theatre-going public?". People have remarked that I give of myself too much but that's me, I guess.

I've been commissioned to do a painting. It's big and quite personal, so chances are I wouldn't be able to sell it on. What's the deal if they don't like the finished work? Where do I stand?
