✦ ℱalling in love
𝐅alling in love. it's crazy. falling. you see? we don't say "rising into love", there is in it the idea of the fall. and it goes back, as a matter of fact, to extremely fundamental things. taking this ghastly risk. you see, for all life is an act of faith, and an act of gamble. the moment you take a step, you do so on an act of faith because you don't know the floor's not going to crumble below you. the moment you enter into any kind of human undertaking a relationship, what an act of faith. see, you've given yourself up. but this is the most powerful thing that can be done: surrender. and love is an act of surrender to another person. total abandonment. i give myself to you. take me. do anything you like with me. so, that's quite mad because it's letting things get out of control. and all sensible people keep things in control. so, actually, what really is sensible, is to let go, is to commit oneself, to give oneself up and that's quite mad. so we come to the strange conclusion that within madness lies sanity.
