We may as well choose love...



Shout-out to Maryann for introducing me to this adorable bit of video of British comedian Simon
Atwell. Watch the whole thing! You won't regret it.

"This stupid game based on fear... we don't play it in any other area of our lives. If you're in a supermarket and you fancy a potato, you don't think, 'oh, I better avoid eye contact.' You grab the potato, you bloody eat it... Everything's a choice between fear and love; we may as well choose love because death is coming."

"We judge ourselves on sex, and we add so much meaning to it as we add meaning to every other thing in our life. Sex can just be fun. No one ever says, 'oh, you're playing all that tennis. Where's it leading?'"

"Surely love is the ideal."
