This piece has derived from a series of poems from the book and is a direct reference to the clotted creamers. These are a direct an honest account of a period in my life which it took ten to fifteen years to recover from. They are also referred to in the Bible and we are warned about it!
This is not a crusade but just an honest account of what their interpretation of love is, they refer to loving someone as co-dependency, meaning we are dependent to the person we love and that that is an illness. The fact that it is rubbish is obvious to most people who have or do love someone, of course they are dependent and rightfully so - it is what love is to depend, to have faith and to trust your loved one.
Love is a feeling that dominates like no other feeling and it is heart felt and nothing to do with our brains, it's automatic when it engages and we have no control over it at all. If you think you can control the love you feel then you are not in love. But just think you are, most people need it and most people cannot live happy lives without it. So to say anything about love that is an illness is just as ludicrous as it sounds.
