"A summer breeze can be very refreshing; but if we try to put it in a tin can so
we can have it entirely to ourselves, the breeze will die. Our beloved is the
same. He is like a breeze, a cloud, a flower. If you imprison him in a tin can,
he will die. Yet many people do just that. They rob their loved one of his
liberty, until he can no longer be himself. They live to satisfy themselves and
use their loved one to help them fulfill that. That is not loving; it is
destroying."
~Thich
