Well, I stumbled across this quote from ancient Zen teachings, and I thought "Boy, this could certainly go on the TFP. How many times have we told people that open communication is the foundation of a relationship?"
It seems that the same problem has been plaguing the human race for millenia...
Quote:
If You Love, Love Openly
Twenty monks and one nun, who was named Eshun, were practicing meditation with a certain Zen master.
Eshun was very pretty even though her head was shaved and her dress plain. Several monks secretly fell in love with her. One of them wrote her a love letter, insisting upon a private meeting.
Eshun did not reply. The following day the master gave a lecture to the group, and when it was over, Eshun arose. Addressing the one who had written to her, she said: "If you really love me so much, come and embrace me now."

There you have it, folks. I think Art would be proud of me. Maybe Ratbastid, too.
