Philosophy of Love
If you love something, set it free.
If it comes back, it will always be yours.
If it doesn't come back, it was never yours to begin with.
BUT . . .
If it just sits in your living room, watches your TV, messes up your
stuff, eats your food, uses your telephone, takes your money, and
doesn't appear to realize that you actually set it free in the first
place, you either married it or gave birth to it.
