Love like... Toothpaste?

I remember watching Bruce Almighty and seeing the scene where Jim Carrey's character said to Jennifer Aniston's character:

Love me, love me.

She didn't.

If anyone has actually seen this movie, you get it.  If you don't let me toss you a spoiler:  Carrey's character is given all the power in the world, except the power to make someone love you.  After all, there are some skeptics of religion out there.

Love is like a toothpaste tube:  even though you squeeze everything out of it, there's always that ounce that's stuck around the corner that you can't get to.  And even if you did, what kind of drastic measure would you do to get it?

Analogy aside, I can't get all the toothpaste in the damn tube.  Even if I did cut the tube in half to scrape the rest off, there would still be toothpaste stuck on that tube.  You can't get all of it, even if you want to.

Point is that, there's a lot of toothpaste out there, and if you're only focusing on that one ounce of toothpaste that you're trying to get, then you're missing out.
