h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I think your definition of love is a bit too optomistic. I mean, how many relationships have you been in that didn't end in a breakup, messy or otherwise? I'm guessing either one or none, depending on your current situation. Love isn't meant to be the method to achieve eternal bliss (or if it is, it's extremely bad at it), love is usually some cosmic joke played on us by a god who is both omnipotent (except for that bit about lifting the rock) and exceptionally bored. Hmm... I'm getting a bit bitter I think. Anyway, my point is that only a relativly small percentage of relationships actually achieve any kind of longevity, and to believe otherwise is nieve.
