Love Downgraded

“Love in the 21st Century is a joke. It’s a scam. It’s a punch line in a sitcom. It’s an e-mail with a lame smiley face in place of an original phrase. It’s a hasty text message (LUV U) with a hieroglyph where your heart ought to be. When it comes to love, nobody knows what to say or to write anymore. Are we too busy? Too preoccupied? Yes, love is a many splendored thing, but these days that just sounds like more multitasking.”
