Love Polygon and the Issue of Choice
Of course we cannot rely on things like contrast in our everyday things for it will prevent us from wanting and achieving more in life. Because it is simply irrational to think that you are happy anyway compared to people who starve... Such comparisons won't bring you any good.
However, all is known in comparison, as they say – and it indeed is very true to a certain reasonable extent. For instance, people who think that threesomes are outrageous should pay special attention to all types of perversion – just to be sure that there really are thing which will be worse in their understanding.
If we take a typical situation with love triangle and compare it with something which is even more global regarding its controversial and complex character, regarding its drama and contradiction, we better think of love polygon – the situation which involves more than three people connected with each other romantically.
For instance, if we take our scenario described in previous sections, Ryan starts going out with Susie simultaneously with Ann, Bryan who has revealed his inner homosexual traits is secretly after a guy Tim while Ann is too busy with her issue of choice to notice all these metamorphoses.
