Episode Transcript
Love is wont to talk in tongues, but it always speaks a universal language.
Love has a familiar face - timeless and transient.
Sometimes, it is measured.
Other times, it is spontaneous and unpredictable.
Sometimes, it is illogical and just defies logic.
Love is sentient.
It does not tolerate stereotypes.
It refuses to give ground to age.
And, although it is uniquely skilled at taming hearts, it refuses to be tamed.
Love is quite simple but also quite complex.
It is nuanced and comes in various shades, layers, and temperaments.
Love dislikes being taken for granted. It is enormously proud.
Love is patient.
It cannot be rushed or forced.
It is a force onto itself.
Love arouses dreams, but it also gives legs to nightmares.
At times, it goes to extremes while urging restraint.
No experience prepares us for its rollercoasters.
And no social station inoculates us from its power of puzzlement.
Love is gentle; love is kind, but it is not afraid to inflict pain at short notice.
Love empowers. Love enfeebles.
It elevates hearts but also brings them to their knees.
Love is a joker with a serious poker face.
It seldom shows its trump cards.
It holds the master key to paradise
and the levers to the doors of hell.
Love is a spirited matchmaker.
It muddles hearts with intimacy but keeps its distance.
Love is passion's Achilles heel.
It is like a potent drug that confines, liberates, and makes you feel invincible.
But if it grows angry and walks away, the earth scorches in its path.
Love takes comfort looking at the world through rose-tinted glasses.
Still, it is prone to tunnel-vision and myopia.
Love refuses to obsess with time, but it is time-sensitive
Love commiserates with nostalgia, but races forward.
It is not afraid to retrieve old smiles or to preserve the scented embers of fading laughter.
Love wounds easily.
And hurts deeply.
Sometimes, love demands too much; sometimes, not enough.
Sometimes, love falls out of love with love and closes doors shut.
But in the end,
love is cathartic, redemptive, and forgiving.
