What per cent in love should you be?
I have no idea what the litmus test is on love. 81%? 91%? 31? More?
First, let's exclude the short honeymoon period of new lovers. That's delusional.
But, back in reality, assume you love another person 99.9%. How would you feel? Are you able to shut down the borderline-bipolar sense of hope and desperation? Would you be less exhausted because you had ceased clawing yourself toward the remaining right-of-the-decimal-point completion?
It’s what rock n roll is all about--reread Mystery Train and you'll see it's the primary point of the book. And so we know what the answer is. Sadly...
