Love - like justice - is blind. Which is fortunate, otherwise only beautiful people would ever fall in love.

If love was truly blind most of the world would be lonely and single, cause the vast majority of people are assholes.

If love was truly blind the human race would go extinct within just a few generations.

I disagree. I prefer to think that most people look further than a pretty face when it comes to falling in love. Most people aren't that superficial. Sometimes a pretty face is all you get, and I'm afraid that's not enough for me.

I think the truer statement is that love is BLINDING, not blind.

People are blinded by love and see what they want to see, and go for people that satisfy unconscious psychological needs.

Like laying on your back and seeing a cloud, you see whatever you want to see, it takes whatever shape you want it too, and before you know it, the cloud has passed and you are just staring into the sun. blinded.

I can honestly say that this hasn't been my experience of love.

Anyway, whatever I think of Nigella, she's a grown up. If she has a problem with her husband I don't think she needs the tabloids acting as judge and jury.
