My feelings about others, when I
was that age, are a hell of a lot different

the difference between the depth of attachment
in them, and that of a long and loving relationship.

Exactly. But, this is something we all have to
get through, in order to attain the insight.

I don't think that anyone fully has it. One can always
learn more, from another knife wound to the heart.
