Hmm.  This is interesting.  A bit earlier today I was contemplating this aloud, and my mom asked (I didn't even know she was listening) how you could even keep love locked in a room at all.  And if this in fact love locked in the room, *how* is it kept there?  If it is really the force both greater and more powerful than any other, how is it kept locked up at all?  Is the locking to keep it in or to keep others out?  Does it stay in by choice?  How does one get in?  What happens if one gets in?  Would it destroy whatever entered the room?  Or only if it were full of hatred?

Oh, I'm confused!
