Nobody loves no one

I was sitting in my room earlier today singing "Wicked Game" in my head and I started thinking about that last line in the song. "Nobody loves no one." As I thought about what Chris Isaak is saying with that line, I began to realize just how profound this line actually is. My main thought is that the line can work as one of those pessimist vs optimist paradoxes. Is the glass half empty or half full? Are we to take the line literally and believe that nobody loves no one, or in other words, everybody loves someone, or are we to think of it just as a poor use of a double negative? Nobody loves no one, or nobody loves anyone? Personally, I am a glass half full kind of guy most of the time. Kind of depends on what's in the glass too. If its Dr. Pepper, well then the glass is pretty much always just simply NOT FULL. But I also think there is more truth to the thought that everybody loves somebody. Even if you are a wretched evil jerk like Ebeneezer Scrooge, even he loved someone. Even more important, we are all capable of loving someone. Anyway, just something to chew on.

*WARNING - So I hadn't actually watched this video before I embedded it but I just did and be warned that there is an extremely hot semi-nude woman throughout and yes some slight boobity and bumity as well although not full fledged nakedness. All I can say is daayyyummm!
