我有个朋友曾跟我很亲密。有一次，我们坐在游泳池边上，她用手掌舀起一抔水，举到我面前，说下了这段话：“你瞧我手中小心翼翼捧起的水，它就是爱的象征。”
而这就是我看到的：只要你的手充满关爱地展开，让水停留在手掌心，它就会一直停留在手心；可如果你试图捏起拳头，紧紧握住它，水就会从它所能找到的第一条缝里喷洒出来。
这就是人们在对待爱时所犯的最大错误。人们想将爱据为己有，要求爱，期盼爱……就像水会从手心洒出来一样，爱会从你手中挣脱，因为爱代表着自由。
一个人无法改变爱的本质。
爱是付出而不是期盼。
爱是建议而不是命令。
爱是问询而不是强求。
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 some water and held it before me， and said this：“You see this water carefully contained on my hand？ It symbolized 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 can not change its nature.
Give and don’t expect.
Advise， but don’t order.
Ask， but never demand.
