Additionally, second-hand-lovesickness is a nonfatal disease marked by nausea, vomiting, and empathetic embarassment. Disease is triggered by seeing to fools in love, prancing about a public place without a care in the world.
On top of that, if love sickness causes suicide, then love should be banned like illicit drugs or cigarette smoking. A world without love would be quite...lovely.
