yes, it is a rather sad commentary on our society that any expressions of friendship would be seen as some kind of sexual love. In the Bible, King David (remember, the one who killed the giant, Goliath, from your Sunday school days? had a "soul-mate" in a friend named Jonathan. They were the best of friends, and they embraced/hugged and kissed, but there was nothing sexual going on at all. We are living in a society where everyone is so isolated from one another, and touch is so "taboo" that we've forgotten how to "love" one another in a brotherly - that is, non-sexual - manner.<P>Your friendly neighbourhood elf, *River* <A HREF="http://www.angelfire.com/bc/YMF" TARGET=_blank>http://www.angelfire.com/bc/YMF</A> <BR>(incidentally, I have an article on my web-site entitled "Getting Connected with One Another" that addresses the issue of loving each other in our world today...cheers!
