If you love a flower
If you love a flower don't pick it up. For when you pick it up it dies and ceases to be what you loved. So if you love a flower don't pick it up.

This is not really about a flower. As you can tell. But how we treat others. Our wives, children... etc. True love is about appreciation.
It's true. Love is not a something to own. it's something to share.
