John21,
I wonder if you could expand your heart to encompass the feeling of the sniper whose country is bring invaded by the marines, in the same way that you could not possibly equate love with responsibility for "creating" the suffering of innocent babies (OK, I'll take the rap for my own actions) that are engulfed in some sort of cataclysms, usually referred to as acts of god/s.

It was actually a circumstance that occurred, though not something I realized at the moment but in later reflection, that instigated my thoughts along these lines. I know human beings are capable of a level of communication that transcends language, ideologies, belief, cultures, and expediency. I don't know what it is, and I don't know how we can do it, but I honestly feel there's a connection or connective medium between people. I don't know it other than a look in a man's eyes and what that look makes me feel. And not that it would hold up in a court of law - but it "seems" real.
As far as the expansion part goes - I'm working on it.
