When people use &#8220;love is unconditional&#8221;, it&#8217;s overrated and just an excuse for taking advantage of someone&#8217;s generosity, either caring or everything else. When the generosity is no longer exist, there goes their so called &#8220;love&#8221;. To belong to a great relationship, either adults or children, there are things to contribute : caring, understanding, honesty, \u00a0fairness, passion, productivity, integrity and laughter. \u00a0All these things create positive Karma that carry good things through out our lives. &#8220;There is no free lunch&#8221; as they say, and it&#8217;s so true. Husband and Wife must be good to each other, Parents must be nice to children and vice versa. No one way street.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The important thing for the children is to feel they belong to a beautiful family, where they can be honest with everything exists in their lives while they&#8217;re in their family. They must feel happy belonging to their family, \u00a0&#8220;jumping in front of the train&#8221; or ended their lives while taking others would never cross their minds. Children love to talk, laugh and play&#8230; It&#8217;s a very horrible excuse &#8220;my children are quiet, they don&#8217;t like to talk or play&#8221;.

It&#8217;s transparent). I can only belong to a great establishment if I give it all my passion, my integrity on my daily work requirements.

Driving on nice roads, highways, I appreciate the work people have done for me. Seeing fire engines, policemen helping people in needs, I feel safe and grateful. People are helpful and working together regardless of all negative stories flying around daily. I would always check to see if I break the laws in any way, I don&#8217;t want to be a burden to my society while others may. \u00a0Did I pay my share of taxes fully for all those wonderful things society provides me and my family because I and my family want to belong to this great society?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p><em>When I get home safe after a long day at work, driving on congested highways, yielding and sharing the roads with all vehicles and\u00a0motorcycles\u00a0pleasantly, seeing my children smiling greetings and having a great dinner together&#8230; I do feel I belong to something nice and wonderful!!!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Do you believe in Karma?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[lightgallery_div] <a href=\"\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/svlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/P1290908.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2241\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-2241\" src=\"\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/svlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/P1290908-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"P1290908\" width=\"112\" height=\"112\" \/><\/a><a href=\"\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/svlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/z_P1320205.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2788\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-2788\" src=\"\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/svlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/z_P1320205-200x112.jpg\" alt=\"z_P1320205\" width=\"200\" height=\"112\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/svlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/z_P1320156.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2785\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-2785\" src=\"\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/svlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/z_P1320156-200x112.jpg\" alt=\"z_P1320156\" width=\"200\" height=\"112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/svlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/z_P1320156-200x112.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/svlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/z_P1320156-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/svlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/z_P1320156-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/svlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/z_P1320156.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/svlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/z_P1320152.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2783\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-2783\" src=\"\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/svlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/z_P1320152-200x112.jpg\" alt=\"z_P1320152\" width=\"200\" height=\"112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/svlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/z_P1320152-200x112.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/svlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/z_P1320152-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/svlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/z_P1320152-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/svlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/z_P1320152.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/svlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/z_mtrose_12_30_15_44.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2779\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-2779\" src=\"\/\/www.dognmonkey.com\/svlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/z_mtrose_12_30_15_44-200x112.jpg\" alt=\"z_mtrose_12_30_15_44\" width=\"200\" height=\"112\" \/><\/a>[\/lightgallery_div]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><ul class=\"lcp_catlist\" id=\"lcp_instance_0\"><\/ul><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[lightgallery] \u00a0 \u00a0 Since kinder garten, I don&#8217;t remember how many times I had to write essays about &#8220;Who Am I?&#8221;.
