DETACHMENT IN LOVE IS RECOGNIZING THAT NOTHING BELONGS TO YOU

Kikky, of course, is the obvious example. She belonged to my neighbors', not me. But even if she belonged to me, she would not have have belonged to me. Nothing in the world, no people in it, not even our own bodies are ours. We go so wrong in love when we become possessive and begin to delude ourselves that our husbands or wives or lovers or children are ours. Each has his or her destiny that we may not change or even interfere with.
