Some people light up the night like a full moon. They reflect love like light. You endow them with kind acts, ply them with hugs, whisper a kind word or two, or simply accept them unconditionally. And they give you back your investment with interest.
Other folks, however, are black holes of love. They take but never give. There are many possible scientific explanations for this phenomenon.

The best is Bertie Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity (as opposed to his little known Specific Theory of Step-Relativity that underlies the Cinderella Principle.) A black hole is a region in space from which nothing, light or love, can escape. It is the result of a rift in spacetime, a very minor slight or tear, amplified a bazillion fold. Around the black hole there is an undetectable point, which marks the point of no return, called the event horizon. It is the wellspring of resentment. It is called “Black” because it absorbs all the love that hits it, reflecting nothing, like a perfect black body of anger in thermorelationshipdynamics.

Some heretics have suggested that you should forgive others not seven times but seventy times seven or a sum total of 490 times. Hell, and that’s just in a single day. This view is denigrated as overly pious in physical science circles. In psychological science associations, however, forgiveness is gaining currency as the key to balanced mental health.

Do you know any black holes of love?
What do you do to combat their gravitational effect?
