the way you described michael - he seems like an incredible person.

the example you gave about lassie was so beautiful.

there are a couple of lines in kurt cobain's suicide note that get me every time:

"but I still can't get over the frustration, the guilt and empathy I have for everyone. There's good in all of us and I think I simply love people too much, so much that it makes me feel too ******* sad......Only because I love and feel sorry for people too much I guess."
