No no no no no...Valentine's buzzkill below! But it's amusing.
"....few people would fall in love if they had never heard of love. The adoption of a literary convention naturally fosters the use of latent feelings which can be most easily expressed in that way. Such feelings existed before (there are romantic love poems from ancient Egypt) but they were rare and were regarded as an accident, an illness, or a mistake."
(From Marriage; Love, Sex and Divorce: What Brings Us Together, What Drives Us Apart by Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy)
True Love an accident, illness or mistake? I think not.
Well, maybe, under certain circumstances, it might make you feel a little bit dizzy.
Happy Valentine's Day to you and all of your sweeties!
