It might seem that everything that needs to be said about "love" has already been said.
Poets and screenwriters have told stories about it,
psychologists have done research on it,
philosophers have argued about it,
preachers have preached about it,
academics have tried to study it,
singers have sung about it,
. . . but are we any closer to really understanding it?
In one sense, the "answer" to all of the
major problems in the world -
racism, violence,
war, oppression, environmental destruction, and so on -
is known, and it's exactly the same for all of them:
"Love each other."
But no cheesy, hokey, sentimental, emotional and melodramatic
swell of affection and good intentions
is really going to accomplish, change, or affect much of anything at all.
