True love is like a lightning bolt -- if you ask me -- it hits you with an intensity -- one does not expect it. If the two struck are willing participants, it creates an arc between the universe/god and their lives which hastens their evolution in every aspect that I know of. Willing being the key word. In my experience, the unwilling easily trade the gift for lesser experiences, or are talked out of the journey by those confidants claiming to be more knowledgeable or experienced, yet are harboring hidden feelings of competitive jealousy or other fascinating subtext that is sure to skewer new lovers before dropping them into the pit of despair.

True love is a great plotline.
