Stop prescribing love when it begins to sound like so much posturing on your part. Love is either there or not there. It cannot be squeezed from other people's empty toothpaste tubes.

Love is not the seedling you proudly plant in your garden. It is the weeds that grow joyously round it, for God created weeds too. Alas, more often than not, true love is pulled apart or doused with weed killer.
