LOVE is linked with many word pathways. In this
"play with words" the emphasis is on
LOVE
LIFE
LIVE
LIVER.
Mythology reminds us that
PSYCHE fell in love with
LOVE or EROS as if there is no
LIFE without LOVE ... Eros rescued her from
OBLIVION or
HADES note in Ukrainian
ZHADAI for remember
The love of Eros resulted in Psyche's immortality.
Psychiatrists may agree that without love psyche
dies.
Poets have much to say about Love
One said that EROS had the task to insure that
"Love blinds and is blind."
Geneticists like this idea, it mingles genes.
Boris Pasternak said about LOVE
"The riddle of life
The riddle of death ..."
