Meat tassels

You cannot force somebody to love you but by God haven't we tried to... at least a half dozen times in our lives. Likewise, nobody can force you to love them but by God haven't they all tried at least once in their lonely eyed lives. We've all been on both sides of the uneven love equation. Forcing somebody to love you is like nicely asking a plutonium tyrant to sign a peace treaty... or convincing a shark to become vegetarian while tassels of meat are swinging from its teeth. Rest assured, you don't have to chase love... just follow that light that's always been in sight Love will shine through the blackness like the warm rays of a sun shower piercing the heart of a long-cold drought.
