maybe baby

in books and movies, characters seem so ready and willing to give up what's possibly their only chance at true love, for the "greater good".
every time i see another story wind its way down this road, i have to wonder how many real people would do it- isn't love the #1 priority for almost everybody, consciously or otherwise?
having found mine, i don't know if i could be magnanimous enough to give it up for thousands of people i don't even know- unless i needed to save the world from absolute destruction.
i fully admit my reluctance is partly because i don't like people to start with, but still, except maybe in cultures of arranged marriages, isn't everybody looking for love?
i find it hard to swallow how many people the entertainment industry would have us believe would let all that go for the sake of the rest of us strangers...

on a distantly related note, does an immaculate conception at least start with an immaculate orgasm? not that i'd ever be the one selected for the gig, but how else do you get anybody to agree to it?
walk good.
