Poets have written reams of prose on the subject

Princesses lose shoes to find it

The movies make money from an idealised version of it

You can be in it, out of it, looking for it in all the wrong places

It can smack you upside the head, turn your room upside down

God recommends it, and says he/she/they is/are it

In the words of Simon Munnery

�God is love, love is truth, truth is you�re a cunt, so come on, have a go, if you think you�re hard enough.�

And that�s pretty much what love is � the hard painful truth about the way things really are, and the joy of realising that once the truth is out there it can�t hurt you.
