A reader in Florida apparently bruised by some personal experience writes in to complain, if I steal some flyff penya worth of merchandise, I am a thief and punished, but if I steal the love of the wife of the others, I am free.

This is a prevalent misconception in minds of many people that love, like merchandise worth of some flyff money can be stolen. Numerous states, in fact, have enacted laws allowing damages for alienation of affections.

But love is not a commodity; the real thing cannot be bought, sold, traded or stolen. It is an act of the will, a turning of the emotions, and a change in the climate of the personality.

When a husband of wife is stolen by another person, that husband or wife was already ripe for the stealing, and was already predisposed toward a new partner. The love-bandit was only taking what was waiting to be taken like the flyff gold, what wanted to be taken,

We tend to treat persons like goods. We even speak of children belonging to their parents. But nobody belongs to anyone else. Each person belongs to himself.

Children are entrusted to their parents, and if their parents do not treat them properly, the state has a right to remove them from their trusteeship of parents.

Most of us, when young, had the experience of a sweetheart being taken from us by somebody more attractive and more appealing. At the time, we may have resented this intruder who came to buy flyff penya, we grew older, and we recognized that the sweetheart had never been ours to begin with. It was not the intruder that caused the break, but the lack of a real relationship.

On the surface, many marriages seem to break up because of a third party. This is, however, a psychological illusion. The other woman or the other man merely serves as a pretext for dissolving a marriage that had already lost its essential integrity. Like the goods you do not like, you will not buy them even they just worth of cheap penya.

We should not treat love as goods. They cannot be exchanged. Do love have different price for different persons? If it does, then I think it is not a real love. So what is real love? I really do not know. But I know love is saintly, pure and invaluable.
