Re: Nilus D/Damian W I think it is perhaps both selfish and selfless to love another. After all, I am all the better for having Misha. I have someone who will comfort me, protect me, care for me. He has this, as well. At times, my own willingness to give over to my emotions for Misha frightens me. It is not supposed to be so easy to lose oneself, not when you are an al Gol. Perhaps it is not losing oneself, only gaining another. I do not know.
You have loved, no? Misha tells me it is different for angels.
