Do I have enough likeable attributes or pursuits to sway you toward the conclusion that you might like me?

The longer the notion ruminates between my ears -- the more layers that unfold in my mind -- the more additions that can be included, all pointing to the same unfinished list of likeable things.

For every "Yes, I like that about you," logic would dictate an ample throng of opposition crying, "No, I definitely do NOT like that about you."

It's obvious; and it's not a wash. The two don't cancel each other out yet, rather, help define those people we like or dislike.

Maybe we all get 80 years or so to seek the answers to these and many other questions. Would all of humanity boil down to the single proposition? More questions there.

But maybe they're all designed to answer just the one question...

...do you like me?

If you disagree and think it's all horse crap and don't care about any of this that's fine -- I'd argue, though, that many would like that about you.
