Just a musing of mine that came to me as I was cleaning the shower in the flat which I have just vacated whose landlord happened to be called John Love.
Now while I was cleaning the shower door it struck me that Mr Love must have got a lot of stick during his life because of his name. Even my ex-flatmate and I would have a little chortle and his unusual and comic name. The fact is, I'm sure, that many people have had a little chortle at Mr Love's name over his lifetime whether behind his back or to his face and I would expect that this hardened him to the world, which in fact after meeting him, you realise that it has.
And that is the irony of the situation that a man with the name Love, feels he can't be loving and probably often feels unloved by his fellow man. Whereas in a less bitter world a man by the name of Love would be a giver of love and happiness to all he should come across. Ok, you are going to tell me that Mr Sex doesn't get that much and Mrs Beard probably doesn't have (much) facial hair, but these names are more comic than considerate. A man called Love could have done so much good in the world.
So this is for Mr Love and for all the other people chastised and bullied into themselves and hardened by life. Mr Love, we love you. :love:
