"Kras" of Rhinos

Another day. Another Magic: The Gathering reference. (Plus am enjoying this too much really as the possibilities of a Magic-life Magic-love Magic-anything analogies are endless...)
(Quick little note: Did you know that the anagram of anything is ___-thing?)

Last time it was about the card name and card (dis)abilities. For this entry we go to another Magic card feature this time about their flavor text. Flavor texts are basically quotes written in some Magic cards just below the card abilities. They don't have an effect to the game-play, but they sure have an effect to the player and how they like the card. (Like even if the card has bad abilities and too much casting cost, they still will keep it because of the humorous or witty flavor text)

Crash of Rhinos, a green creature card has this one for its flavor text (Better yet, read the card):

"Love is like a rhino, short-sighted and hasty; if it cannot find a way, it will make a way."

No explanation needed really. Read between the lines. Or better yet, read between the flavor text.
