And so it is with love. We must believe in it, or we're lost.
We may not obtain it, or we may obtain it and find it renders us
unhappy; we must still believe in it. If we don't, then we merely
surrender to the history of the world and to someone else's truth.
It will go wrong, this love; it probably will... Our current model for the universe is entropy, which at the daily level translates as: things fuck up. But when love fails us, we must still go on believing in it. Is it encoded in every molecule that things fuck up, or that love will fail? Perhaps it is. Still we must believe in love, just as we believe in free will and objective truth. And when love fails, we should blame the history of world. If only it had left us alone, we could have been happy, we could have gone on being happy. Our love has gone, and it is the fault of the history of the world. But that's still to come. Perhaps it will never come. In the night the world can be defied. |
