Only a species suffering from terminal main character syndrome would, when describing intimately human experiences like love, reach for the language of global cataclysm. Tsunami, earthquake, meteor strike, volcano: We’re barely in love at all unless our metaphor is a natural catastrophe with the potential for mass devastation.
