#LoveIs absurd...

So... Let's say at random, someone you've never seen before stops to speak to you about this amazing state of being.
'Best thing you've ever felt', he calls it.
You, intrigued, ask what it is and how it works...

'It's called love, my good sir... And how it works?'...

Well, yeah, how it works, what does it do... And what do you do to get it.

'Well, that's simple enough, it's like being in total control, only that this control is gained by letting go of it... It's standing firm although you feel as if you're falling... It's gaining strength by making known your weaknesses... It's acquiring peace of mind due to someone who leaves you seemingly mindless when they're around'...

So... It's basically... The exact opposite of what it should be based on what you do to experience it?

'Well... Yeah, in a way'...

Oh, okay, so... Are there any bad sides to this love?

'Uh... There is one, depending on how much you put in... In the event that your feelings can't be returned or you lose the person in an unfortunate circumstance... You may experience pain in a manner 10 times the previous feeling of love'.

Ah... I see... So, this is an emotion where I do things that would normally destroy me, so I can feel a joy nothing can eclipse... But will also be at risk of not returning to my normal state after the experience, but in fact spiralling even further below what I once was into a possible abyss I may never escape...

'Uh... Well, when you put it that way'....

Nah, it's cool, sounds totally reasonable, I'll have 2 please. Keep the change.
