@oldmean4: Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) "Love is a bond of obligation." When you become too attached to love, you risk losing yourself in it. You start changing your values to keep someone. You ignore your goals to keep their attention. You accept things you once promised yourself you never would. but never so Love someone deeply deeply that you abandon yourself. Because the moment you need someone more than you need your own purpose, you give them the power to control you.
