I don't need to listen to his plans for revenge, or take a swim into his sickness.

I disagree with your premise, though. I think everyone deserves love, and has an obligation to love others. Often, the dysfunctional people who cause the most harm do so because they didn't get enough of the right kind of love from the beginning.

As for sexual partners...there you are correct, of course. Nobody has the right to a partner.

As a public school teacher, I deal daily with many young people who aren't getting the right kind of love. I see their dysfunctions growing and leading them, inexorably, into a limited life, at the very least. Everyone deserves love. Love that provides the stability and security that allow us to grow up mentally, socially, and physically healthy.

You make valid points. But "deserve" and "obligation" aren't the same as "Give it to me or else!" nomorenomore08 May 2014 #10
