Love does not Necessitate Coolness

While I found the movie Jules and Jim to be completely devoid of coolness, I have found that love is often accompanied by coolness. Love itself is not cool. While it is a wonderful and beautiful thing, love does not necessarily have to be cool. By itself, love may lack the qualities of coolness. For example, in Jules and Jim, Jules is deeply in love with Catherine. However, he is not cool because he lacks any intelligence in dealing with Catherine. Although his love is deep, he does not have the sense to leave Catherine despite her constant affairs with other men. Because of this, he is not a very cool person.
An example of love that comes with coolness is the love between Amber and Wilson on the show House. Through a series of coincidences, the couple slowly finds out that they are deeply in love. However, their love is not enough to make them cool. What makes them cool is their just resolve to maintain their love despite Dr. House's measures to break them apart. Throughout their relationship, they are able to resist House, and over the course of a few weeks, force him into a position where he is all right with their relationship. Additionally, when Amber is hurt in a bus crash and subsequently succumbs to amantadine poisoning, Wilson does everything he can to save her as she fights for her life. Unfortunately, there is nothing that Wilson or the other doctors can do to save Amber, and as a result, Wilson must turn off her life support.
Although the couple of Wilson and Amber are cool, they are not cool because of their love. It is their resolve and dedication to each other that makes them cool. If Amber and Wilson had been friends, their coolness would have remained. Without the deep romantic connection, the pair would have retained their coolness because their strength in handling their conflicts with House and her fight with death would have remained. Because of the way that people retain their coolness if love is removed, I would argue that love is in no way correlated to coolness. I do not mean to argue against love; it is a wonderful thing. However, when love is taken out of a situation, the actions that people take can still be cool. Just as the situation with Wilson and Amber retains its coolness without love being applied, any situation can have love removed and, as long as similar situations persist, coolness will remain.
