i cannot help but care [i]
by ican’ t. not
 
i can’t help but care
bet you feel the same
we’re both caught in hour-glass of this amazing game

we take roller-coaster rides and live to tell the tale
i can’t help but care

·       once alive, self-preservation makes us survivalists.
·       once survival needs are met, it becomes thrival: to feel better.
·       truth be told, thrival is simply survival+.
 
the real evolution is when/if we can care about another with absolutely no agenda, no quid-pro-quo, no expectations, and no intention of feeling better via caring.
 
THAT… would be Unconditional Love.
