What the Master really said

Jim: Master, I must tell you

my love for you is real.

I want to win your trust and love.

I promise not to hurt you

and to give you the freedom you seek.

I just want to be together

and bring you happiness.

Master: Jim,

I understand

that you feel that way,

but I have to tell you,

I prefer solitude.

For me, self-love is the key

to healing

the most important wound -

the fear of loneliness.

I don't want to hurt you,

but you have to understand

that my path is a lonely one.

Jim: But master,

you can't imagine

how much I can understand you.

I too have gone through moments

of loneliness and fear.

But I believe that together

we can find happiness

and overcome any obstacle.

Master: Jim,

I understand that you want to help me,

but you must learn

that each journey is personal.

I chose to live in solitude

to find my inner peace.

Your love is precious,

but you must direct it to yourself

before you share it with others.

Jim: But Master,

you can't shut yourself up completely.

By letting me into your life,

you can discover new aspects

of happiness and fulfillment.

Master: You have a kind heart, Jim,

but you must understand

that not everyone

is looking for the same things in life.

I'm sorry

I can't share your feelings the same way.

But I promise you will find someone

who will understand you

and give you the love

and happiness you deserve.

Jim: Thank you for your wisdom, Master...

I will continue to show you

that love can be a healing force

and that it is never too late

to open your heart to others.

But until then,

I will respect your choice

and seek happiness and fulfillment

in my own way.

Master: Be strong, Jim,

and never forget that

the most important thing

is to find inner peace

and love and respect yourself.

Your path is long and full of learning,

but I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.
