Jessica was hiking in a remote part of New Zealand with her dog, Molly, when she slipped and fell 180 feet down a waterfall. Jessica survived and was rescued - but Molly had disappeared.

A local helicopter company heard what happened and organized a volunteer search. A week after Molly went missing, the team flew back to the waterfall to start looking.

And there she was.

Molly was sitting on rocks beneath the very waterfall where Jessica had fallen. Despite spending a week on her own, rescuers said she was in perfect condition.

They lured Molly over with a treat, carried her to the helicopter and brought her to safety.

After an unimaginably difficult week, Jessica and Molly were finally both back home.

We arent meant to hate our families, wtf. They are one of the reasons civilization could even develop. Children being raised together develop a natural ick against fucking each other.

    Did you read until the end of what I wrote, or did you just decide to go into defence mode preemptively?

    I think your wording in the original comment is working against you.

    Hate and sexual repulsion isn’t quite the same thing, neither is love and sexual attraction. People love their families, yet don’t necessarily feel sexual attraction toward them.

    The way you phrased made it sound like the inherent disinclination toward sexual contact with family members somehow means you loathe them as people.

    Nothing you have written in this thread is worth reading. Go read a fucking book.

    Ah, I see, you just like to get offended by comments I aimed at others. Alright, you do you, buddy.

    Once again it seems your reading comprehension could use some work. Would you like to point out what indicates I was offended instead of just pointing at a dumb-ass comment and saying 'hey that was dumb.'
