worse really - a narcissist whom we believed we were ultimately responsible to.  Who could make the sky fall who could make us suffer for eternity.

When you fall in love all good sense goes out the window.  You drop your boundaries and make yourself vulnerable.  It's an essential achilles heel to have.  Gurus know how to take advantage of it.  I remember having a theory at one time that this is how the idea of God and religious groups got started in the first place.  (I don't know what I think at the moment).
