the one

so much time and so many words have been devoted by so many people to the concept of "the one"...

why one? it doesn't seem like monogamy is something coded into our consciousness... in fact it's a relatively young concept which has been placed on a pedestal, it has become a paragon that all should aspire towards... it is good, no wait, it is more than good, it is the best, the one (concept we should embrace)... the way most people posit about it, it almost sounds like it can even cure dandruff, prevent hairloss and raise the dead...

but is it?
