Communication, relationships, love, friendship and attention are gifts that are either given voluntarily or not given at all.

You don't need love and friendship that you have to scrape out of a person teaspoon by teaspoon, believe me! There is no need for love that you have to beg, explain and persuade. Attention that is squeezed out by force is that same unopened tube of toothpaste that eventually becomes the last straw.

Everything that they want to give you will get just like that, without asking.

And what requires gnawing out of another person with your teeth - you don't need that. Gnaw nuts, they have a lot of protein, it is good for your health.
