Imagine something more valuable than your life. Every moment you think of a loved one being well you feel joy. When they are hurt you feel a physical pain in your chest. You would do anything for them. The world is no longer about you.
Looking from the outside that sounds like a very vulnerable and unattractive situation to be in. But I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
(Disclaimer: It’s still possible to hold unconditional love and betray that love in a self centric way, I have, but the above is how I would describe the ‘feeling’ of it)
Nemesis Games (Expanse Series) had bicycles. Not the strongest book in the series but Amos and Peaches learned how well bikes worked when the shit hit the fans. Very thoughtful authors.
