Egoic LOVE is the worst thing (video)

I wouldn't off myself for you, Dumb*ss

In this interesting and overly-viewed video, our vegan pal from the Valley, Alicia "Cher" Silverstone, plays a jilted partner cheated on by some great looking guy.

Old men, the father of her friend and fellow vegan actor Liv Tyer, a grizzled group of Summer of '69 oldsters calling themselves the Aeronautical Smiths (probably from wanting to work at Boeing-Northrop-Grumman in the neighboring South Bay of LA) or something, depict

• how quickly the heart attaches to a pleasant object (in this case a boyfriend),
• how easily it's hurt by betrayal (his attraction and consummation with another alluring object), 
• how dumb all the things we try to cope with the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune: tattoos, piercings, skimpy outfits, junk food, convertibles...

Whoever works for the record company compiling these music videos sure knows a thing or two about pop psychology. We're all eyes and ears, and it's a pretty good Southern rock song or pop schlock ala Jon "Casanova" Bon Jovi, a competing performer.

Good work, Liv Tyler's dad! The moral of the story? Egoic love (self-deluded clinginess) sucks and hurts.

• Betrayal trauma is real
