Hi Leedoh,
Today is Valentine's Day, which of course got me thinking about love. There are all kinds of love and at varying degrees. You can love a spouse, a child, a parent, a sibling, a pet, a friend. And you can love someone passionately or just a little. You can love someone deeply. You can love someone on a platonic level. And sometimes you can think you're in love when you're not.
To me, love is like sweetener, which is a good opportunity to discuss some opinions, some similes and some science:
New love is like Sugar in the Raw. It's strong and it packs a punch. A little bit goes a long way. And if you keep working at it, eventually it becomes really similar to plain old sugar, which is still sweet and works great. (More on that later.)
False Love, love that is just infatuation or lust is like Sweet-N-Low (aspartame). It sweetens whatever you want, but it's often too strong, a little goes a long way and eventually it will make you sick. It's also never quite the real thing.
False Love that goes on for a long time is like Splenda (sucralose). It may seem exactly like sugar (real love) at first, but the whole time you know something is not quite right. You're getting the sweetness and there are definite benefits, but the whole time something feels a little fake. You and everyone else can eventually tell the difference.
And True Love, true love is like sugar. It's sweet, it's strong, it's dependable and it gives you exactly what you're looking for. It's never fake and it never lets you down. Sometimes you get variety and it's cane sugar or brown sugar or sugar in the raw that's been slowly ground down, but it's always good and it always seems right.
You can never go wrong with sugar.
I love you my little sugar monkey! :-*
