Is kissing (as us humans do it), instinctive, or did we kind of "invent" it?
Many animals show affection by licking. It's their way of giving kisses and obviously an instinct for them. I wonder if our instinct is also to lick as a show of affection but since it's kind of gross we've invented the kiss.
Anyone else ever wonder this? Thoughts? Comments? I'm bored today.For example, YOHIO and Shae Summers - these two I'd lick them without hesitation.
Haha! Yes, licking a significant other is nice. Now, licking your grandma? Not so much. A peck on the cheek will do.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
