'All's Fair In Love & War'............
Meaning in situations of love and war you do not have to obey rules of reasonable behavior; not bound by rules of fair play. In certain situations, like love or war, you are allowed to be deceitful to fulfill your objectives; in highly charged situations any method of achieving your goals is acceptable. Certain situations are so overwhelming that acting in your own selfish interest is justifiable. |
