Who's the most important person in the world? What a question, it's obvious . . . I am, Sue Sainsbury writes.

We live in a world of selfishness and disposable love, of serial monogamy: the tacit understanding that I'll love you (whoever you are, friend or mother, as well as lover) as long as you're useful to me and then move onto the next person.

Committed - for as long as it works. Together - for as long as you fulfil my needs. It's not my fault: I just breath it in and live it out.
