Maybe This Isn't That Funny, After All

Here’s some “wisdom” that I recently heard on a reality TV show:  “If you want true love you have to realize that you’re the only person who matters.” I know it has to be taken with a grain of salt—and then some—because it’s “reality TV,” but the person who said these words actually claims to have some expertise on the subject of love.  Think about the lack of basic logic revealed in the idea that love involves the realization that “you’re the only person who matters.”


I laughed when I heard the person say this and then I thought about lots of people being exposed to this kind of thinking and being influenced by it and I stopped laughing.
