Is all really fair in love and war?
———- from Karren Guthrie of Colorado Springs, CO
Love and war are essentially the same activity, so whatever rules apply to one also apply to the other. The protocol differs. In love, you kneel and slip a ring on someone’s finger, while in war you lie prone in a ditch and fire a rifle at someone a hundred yards away. Once hostilities have reached a certain level, you need outside help. In love, this involves seeing a therapist, but in war, it involves UN troops. Often the end result is the same, helicopters hovering over your house, your dirty laundry aired on the nightly news, and a financial hit that impacts everyone involved for years to come.
