If the literary category of 'mordant fable' exists at all, it may be because Brock Clarke invented it.

Suggesting I hate people with religion because I hate religion is like suggesting I hate people with cancer because I hate cancer. Votes: 2 Ricky Gervais

I don't think love is a tricky issue at all. Love is best understood when we share: Share time, energy, food, resources, insights, information, whatever.

Suddenly I find myself feeling sorry for those greedy, needy people whose huge salaries are never quite enough, whose sense of worth is defined by their own personal wad.
