What is Love?

Villagers and the dam

Once there was a town where they eked out a little living. In these parts everyone was trying to be somebody, but nobody felt they were anyone at all.
One day a farmer said to his wife:
‘If a man kills his neighbour from rage
Then rage is wrong
And so he is right to supress his feelings
For not all feelings are good
And since the man cannot tell them apart
He should supress them all.’
His wife answered:
‘Then if a dam bursts and floods a village
Should the villagers say: “This cursed water!”
Or, “That cursed dam!”?
Since man needs water to live
Express yourself
Celebrate sensations as they occur.’
