Look at the drink and those two straws. Fundamentally Man is a self-interested creature. Without love, there would be two drinks, two separate straws. Or one drink, one straw, and someone else with a sad face. But love to me is so powerful precisely because it calls us to share, and to sacrifice, to take pain, and to give happiness -- to take from ourselves so we may give to someone else. Love at-once empowers and debilitates, and makes us stronger for the journey.
