You Are Attracted To Me.

That's right. There's no point denying it I'm afraid, because that's the truth. The truth according to what they teach at uni, anyway. Let me explain.

Apparently, all objects in the world are inherently attracted to each other. This is due to the existence of attractive forces between everything. The obvious ones - like between a helium balloon and the ceiling, to the not so obvious ones - like between the possum outside your house and the mailbox. These attractive forces are always there. In fact, you cannot turn them off completely - they can only be minimized.

Minimization of attractive forces - it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that in the presence of repulsive forces, the effect of any attractive forces present are reduced. That's why we don't all stick together like magnets. Whether coaggulation or dispersion occurs depends on the total interaction energy, which in essence means whether there are large enough repulsive forces to overcome the ever-present attractive forces.

And there it is. You are attracted to me. I'm sorry to inform you of that fact, but that's just how it is. It's not all a lost cause though. There are many good things you can get out of this lesson.

Next time you are having trouble dealing with uncontrolled thoughts and desires, you can blame it on these forces. These forces that, according to science, always exist. Alternatively, next time you want to run away from certain objects/situations/living creatures, once again, blame it on the forces, blame it on science.

To those with low self-esteem: everyone finds you attractive.

By the way, I'm attracted to you too. That's right, even you, Char. Despite thighs, white walls, and apple pies.

Such profound and useful things you learn at uni.
