Just like weed, love has the capacity to intoxicate, to enter your head, and take control of your heart and senses. And just as it can be fun and interesting, it can make you do crazy things. This is why when you fall in love, it is important to distinguish between 'crazy in love' and 'crazy insane,' and between the things you do 'with love,' and those you do 'for love,' because half the things you'll do for love will more than likely incite incidents exhibiting foolishness.
See the story of Romeo and Juliet - no, scratch that! That was a tragedy. See the Egyptian guy that was all over the news last week for instance. He wore a fake suicide explosive belt, hijacked a domestic Egyptian flight, caused it to be diverted to Cyprus just so he can talk to his estranged Cypriot wife and to deliver a love letter, and only to get arrested and treated like an idiot.
Okay, maybe the Egyptian guy was mentally unstable. But check the story of Neil and Jacqueline, the couple that loved each other so much so that they did surgery to look like each other - the wife died of cancer in '07 and the husband continued to shape his body to look more like hers, and he refers to himself as "we" or "us" and his as "ours." Also check the story of Jordan Cardella, who begged his buddy to shoot him with a gun so his ex-girlfriend would feel sorry for him and take him back - and just in case you're wondering if he had the attention and sympathy he was looking for, I understand the girl didn't even come to the hospital.
To be continued...
