Love and Pockets

When people fall in love, most often their first intention is to determine how to "manipulate" their object for love, and to get that person into their pocket as soon as possible.

Only when we have succeeded at putting the ones we love or desire in our pocket do we feel satisfied and safe. We then proceed to walk around with the feeling that we carry our loved one in our heart, but the truth is that we carry him/her in our pocket.

Sometimes we proudly open our pocket to show others its contents, but we make sure we close it right away so that nobody will reach in and touch or steal our love.

Some people will walk around with their hand constantly on their pocket to ensure they won't lose their love. This leaves them with only one hand to work with through life (they are called love cripples).

Some people are so afraid to lose their love that they zip their pocket for safety. Only after a while do they realize that their love has suffocated from a lack of air (this results in a broken-heart pocket).

Some people are very greedy about their love collection, and they create lots of small pockets where they store many loves. As the years go by, their clothes become too heavy to walk around in (this usually results in chronic back and heart pain). In extreme cases, the person can suddenly collapse from the weight she/he is carrying.

Some people walk around in love, knowing their love is safe in their pocket, until one day they find that all along their pocket had a hole, and they have now lost their love. These "holey" loves usually end in a big heartbreak.

After a while, some people find a new love that they would like to put into their pocket. However, when they try to empty out their old love, they find that over the years she or he has melted and become very sticky, and very difficult to clean. Even when people have emptied their pocket of the old love, most of the time they are left with a big stain.

Sometimes, some people return home only to find that they were pick-pocketed.
In turn, some people carry a stolen love in their pocket, and all day they stress in fear that somebody will find out about their love's content and origin.

Some people walk with an empty pocket, and all day long they are busy looking for ways to fill it up...

What type of love pocket are you carrying???

A zippered one...
Multiple love pockets...
One with a hole in it...
A stained one...
An empty one...
Other...?

Love has nothing to do with pain, only love pockets create pain.

If you want to experience love free of pain, come towards love without pockets or expectations!

Only then-
will you be able to love as many as you wish,
will you never lose your love,
will nobody be able to steal your love,
will your love not turn out to be heavy,
will you never feel loveless.

All the above also applies to love between our children and us. The only difference is that with our children, we do not have the stage of trying to get them into our pockets because we have the illusion that they were born there! But as they grow up, we proceed to apply to them all the laws of the love pocket...
