Heart
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

But it's not just accepting each other - you accept your friends as well. It's when that person makes you feel like champagne is running through your veins, or like the moon's light ought to be shining out of your face, you're smiling so much. Being in love is as much how you react to that person as how you act towards them. It alters you, hopefully for the good, so that you not only feel like a better person, you want to be a better person.

The OP is a rant, not really in tune with the name of the thread. However, my answer to the title, with regard to the OP, would be "none of your business." Love is something that other people should just ignore if they don't like it. Who are you to say it is an act? Let people have their mushy moments. Why take away moments of revealed happiness from someone when life is bound to deliver them heartaches as well? I say "Let There Be Love!" There is too much other bullshit. Life would be a barren wasteland without it.

Dammit, you beat me to the punch!

Well, there's always the SNL version that everybody knows this song from:

The lyrics to this song brilliantly define love... for me, anyway. Also, it's one of my favorites.

How right you are.

Its like ironing shirts - its a waste of time and energy. Hopefully the human race will evolve beyond this dead-end so we can just skip the distraction of that romance bullcrap and get straight down to procreation.

We'd all live far happier and longer lives without love, and ironing shirts.
