Love.

The most powerful and oldest drug known to humankind.

Love is like a brilliant flame. Wild and untamable. It could warm families, warm a house, or it could destroy a whole village. It's beauty, physical and spiritual has no rival. Like fire, love, if unchecked will destroy all it comes into contact with. Like fire love has is timeless, it has been around since the dawn of mankind. Like a burning ember, if love is stoked it will eventually spread into a wildfire. Both majestic and beautiful, but dangerous. It discriminates no one. Every race, creed, and color has felt its fury. It is a double edge sword invest too much into it, it will destroy you from within. Indulge in it for too long and it will take control of you. Eliminating all logic reason. Like a biblical spirit it will control you. But it is Love in which the world was created. Love is the ultimate dichotomy of good and evil. It's eternal. It's a biological drug.
