Philosophical Rant of the Day

Everyone who considers themselves remotely normal is without fail, looking for someone to care about them.  If you're lucky, you will encounter a partner who loves you and cares about you and wants to accompany you on your journey through life.  If you're not lucky, then you will have to go about it the hard way.
And therein lies the rub.  The law of human nature says that no one cares how much you know until they firstly know how much you care.
So what that means is if you're looking for someone to care about you, the real issue is to really, sincerely, and honestly examine your own capacity to first care about them.   It's as simple as that, and yet so hard to carry out in real life, since so many other "things" get in the way.  These things that get in the way could be that you carry emotional baggage, pain from a previous experience, selfishness, or ego.   Or, the cruel truth could very well be that you just are not very capable of caring about someone that much.
