Once a boy and a girl were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, girl filled the palm of her hand with a little water and held it before the boy, and said this:
"You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love.”
This was how I saw it : "As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there.
However, if you attempt to close your fingers around it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.
This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love.
they try to posses it,
they demand,
they expect
and just like the water spilling out of your hand,
Love will retrieve from you.
For love is meant to be free,
you can not change it's nature.
If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.
Give and don't expect.
Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.
It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love.
To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring.
