As with most other things in life, love is a gamble, a risk. The bigger the risk you take, the bigger the pay-off or the loss you suffer. There are no guarantees, the odds are never certain, and most of the time, what you end up with is so much more (or less) fulfilling than you expected. The results assault all your senses, and it hits every part of you, physically, emotionally, intellectually, spiritually. Whether the outcome of the gamble is positive or negative, it leaves you overwhelmed, as if you’ve been ran over by a ten-wheeler truck.
