heart.”

are all in how you think about the other people of your life. Your
experience of all those people is only in your mind. Your feelings about
your lovers come from your thoughts.
For example, they may in fact behave in ways that you find offensive.
However, your relationship to them when they behave offensively is not
determined by their behavior, it is determined only by how you choose to
relate to that behavior. Their actions are theirs, you cannot own them,
you cannot be them, you can only process them in your mind.”

will be spilled.
A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the
other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too
possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.”

with somebody more promising.
This can go on and on–series polygamy–until we admit that while a
partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are
responsible for our own fulfillment.
Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude
ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every
relationship we enter.”
