Bonds Quote by Anonymous

“Don't get entangled With what you long for or dislike. Not seeing what you long for is suffering; So also is seeing what you dislike. Therefore, do not turn anything Into something longed for, For then it's dreadful to lose. Without longing or dislike, No bonds exist.” quote by Anonymous
