Life without Love?

I watched a few episodes from the first season of "This American Life" yesterday on Netflix. This episode struck a chord with me.

Of course, I believe in love. I think most of this past eighth grade class believed in love too. They were hopeless romantics like most of the other teens portrayed on the show.

I wonder what I would say to this kid if he was in my classroom. I hope I'd be respectful, but I'd have a hard time trying not to convince him there was such a thing as love.
