I think I'd like to do something nice for somebody. I think it's good 
if you smile at someone, and they smile in return. Voluntary love 
encourages people to create a sense of friendliness. Love that is 
unconditional gives us respect as people, however, it's wrong to force 
love, to try to keep it alive. If the strain goes on eventually it will 
bloom into the flower called lie. The deceptively thorny flower that 
hurts people. - Vash
