Love

Love is the emotion which is defined by letting go of rational thought altogether. Big call that. I claim that any attempt to rationalise love with logic must be flawed.

I am sure there is a whole school of philosophy devoted to the conundrum. The mechanists are a cul-de-sac in the history of love .

This rational treatise on love is itself irrational.

But you have to admit I am talking about love in the fifth person. I know a bloke who knows a bloke who thinks that Ian Maxwell doesn’t know what the fuck he is talking about on the subject of love

Love is actually best understood in the zero-th person. it just is and can’t be described. Like the cat in the box, any attempt to describe it, sullies it to the point of non existence.

It’s amazing that no one would say those things about fear. Fear can be irrational. Fear can paralyse. But we can rationalise fear (it’s an emotion that has kept us alive) but not love (like it’s something special).

That’s irrational and this is a love letter! QED
