Analogically defined true Love

[apola_anamisha]

A friend has just sent it to me.I'm not sure that you guys have already read it or not .............but it seems superb to me.

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me.
Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming
pool, she filled the palm of her hand with a little
water and held it before me, 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 round 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 cannot change its 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."

Passing thought...
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take
but by the moments that take our breath away.

Dont know whether the above is right, a few replies regarding agree and disagree might clear the confusion.
