Love’s Lawyers
THE topic of love is omnipresent in life. Humans are created by love. Religions are founded through love. Love is the catalyst for some of the most influential events in history. Psychology demonstrates that upon birth, Adam and Eve and all their progeny continues to, almost supernaturally, hungrily search for love, only to be mocked by time and death. What is the price of knowing love? Death? Maybe.
An axiom of knowledge remains— if one is unsure of a thing, think about what it is not to discern what it is. Our ancestors and the communities of the reader and writer have experienced much pain. Because of this, Love is as visible as a rainbow and more captivating than white gold (Cane sugar). I repeat for emphasis—pain is a five-sense, stimulating flash. Pain absorbs us into the experience only to deepen our fear and whiter our hope and make our feet brittle. So the journey now becomes more intimidating than Kalief Browder’s evil plea deal. Yet, after centuries of human existence, evolution has favored us with the shrewdness to catch and know love.
“We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple act of [love].”
