According to a 2025 Forbes article, 43% of people married for the first time get divorced. And the percentages are 60% for second marriages and 73% for third marriages.
Factor in all the the relationship break ups that never make it to marriages, and love is like a toss of the dice.
And love can seem like a gambling casino where the odds are always stacked in favor of the house, where the dice is loaded, and the addicted gamblers usually keep playing and losing.

Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
