A Principle to Keep

A principle that I believe should be kept is to put the needs of those that you love the most before your own. You can "love" your dog, a clothing store, that new phone you got for your birthday, and the list goes on and on. That's not the type of love I'm talking about. I'm talking about that sense of everlasting love that you feel, for instance, let's say your mother. The majority of people can say that they love their mom, the woman who gave birth to them (and in many cases) raised them to be the person that they are today. This is the type of love that allows one to do a crazy things that they wouldn't be able to do on a daily basis. This type of love is displayed in "The Road". The Man truly loves his son. He stated earlier in the book that his son was his driving force for living and he'd do anything to protect him. I can think of a few people that I truly love and I would go to the ends of the earth just to make sure that they were safe and happy. It may sound cheesy or cliché, but I just personally believe that it's a principle that we should all live by.
