More generally, I think it’s perfectly ok to have emotions, and I think it’s ok to make distinctions between those who I’m emotionally attached to and those who I’m not emotionally attached to.
For example, I have houseplants that I nurture and I don’t want to see die, but I don’t really care if see some other plant of dying in the wild.
On Mother’s Day, do you give every Mom a present or just your own Mom?
