How many meanings can a word have? Love. I love my friends, my cat, my mother, my Desert Eagle, my little brother. I love Subway sandwiches! Someone once told me that for him love meant that he would throw someone off a cliff for you.

I presume you are trying to break this up to talk only about love between a man and a women (or partner). Well, there is the well known and scientifically proven short term hormonal imbalance. What does this tell us?

Only that scientists need to get out more.

Short term? I have been with my Francesca for over 8 years and she still gives me the pot noodle horn. But its more than that, much much much more.

Its sharing. Real, true, painful, wonderful sharing. Its having someone to share life with. Its having someone who will never feel that way about someone else but you. Its a club with two members. A private closeness. The intertwining of your life with someone else.

Its the most natural and normal thing in the world. Literally. Its evolution, the beauty of nature and the reason man is king of this planet. You prove your age when you point at Hollywood, as if the output of 98% of that fake town could define something so deep in humanity!

News for you: they don’t even try. The films of Hollywood are enhancers to love. Not direct expressions of it. Its love power booster not love itself. Its not something you are expected to understand if you are not in love.

So get out a little more yourself and stop with the *fruitcage* cynicism
