Something about fate and connection

Something happens in a relationship.Two people suddenly fall under an illusion which makes them think that being together is the only way they can survive. It would be called herd mentality, if it were not for the obvious lack of a herd, in most cases. Then there's the usual. Anger, issues, jealousy, change, disillusionment. But, some of these wonderful species turn out more resilient than they are supposed to be. Then overcoming all the problems, all the lies, cheating and anger (assuming that there are only the normal problems), people still come together, time and again.It's like a cockroach.This relationship with an unusual life span, an ability to let all the water flow off its back ( or is that mixing metaphors?). The hard hearted may call it work, and very much work indeed, which is put into these extra special long lasting ones.But the ones who believe in magic, ones who believe in say, a universal deity of relationships who looks upon some special ones with a kindly eye, know that no human effort can match up to the wonderful irony which can be achieved by that jester called fate. So then, some sort of a connection and a little bit of cheering from fate can turn your relationship from a dreary run of the mill, simple country story to an all guns blazing, eternal devotion swearing, let's-screw-everything-that-is-wrong-between-us-and-still-make-this-work super relationship!Here's to the wonderful illusions that keep us going.
