Love is beautiful only when there is no attachment in it, but unfortunately, we have been told for thousands of years that love means attachment. That is one of the greatest calamities that has happened to humanity. Love does not mean attachment. It means just the opposite of attachment, because attachment creates a very unloving space. Attachment means you will be possessive and from the other side you will be possessed. Everybody wants to get out of the prison; hence the fear.
The more you possess, the more you become afraid that the other will try to escape. And to possess somebody is ugly. To possess means to reduce the other person into a thing, into a commodity. You can possess a car, you can possess a house, you can possess a painting but you cannot possess a woman or a man. You cannot possess a child. That is utterly destructive, inhuman. A child is not furniture, a woman is not a thing, a man is not a commodity. These are not economic objects. The moment you possess somebody you are exploiting and love cannot exploit.
