I must be very explicit about this statement in case you misunderstand me. I mean that no man or woman can love or unlove at will  (by "love" I am still meaning all the emotions which are contained in the state called "being in love"). I MUST BE VERY EXPLICIT ABOUT THIS STATEMENT IN CASE SHE MISUNDERSTAND ME I MEAN THAT NO MAN OR WOMAN CAN LOVE OR UNLOVE AT WILL BY LOVE I AM STILL MEANING ALL THE EMOTIONS WHICH ARE CONTAINED IN THE STATE CALLED BEING IN LOVE
irit, he cannot by his own will suppress or increase his actual emotion toward you, and if you destroy his ideal of you it cannot be his fault if his ardor cools. That is one point of gigantic importance which I want to hammer into your head, child--whatever a person thinks and feels about you, you yourself are responsible for. You have given his or her sensibilities that impression, exactly as when you look in a mirror your reflection is reproduced. People complain of being misunderstood, but it is because they themselves, unconsciously perhaps, have given the cause for misunderstanding. A girl may say a man is a brute and a false traitor, because in May he was passionately loving, making every vow to her, but by October he had cooled, and by December he had become in love with someone else! Granted that some men have fickle natures and more easily stray than others, still the actual emotion for a particular person is not under any human being’s control, only the demonstrations of it. E LETTER AND THE SPIRIT HE CANNOT BY HIS OWN WILL SUPPRESS OR INCREASE HIS ACTUAL EMOTION TOWARD YOU AND IF YOU DESTROY HIS IDEAL OF YOU IT CANNOT BE HIS FAULT IF HIS ARDOUR COOLS THAT IS ONE POINT OF GIGANTIC IMPORTANCE WHICH I WANT TO HAMMER INTO YOUR HEAD CHILD WHATEVER A PERSON THINKS AND FEELS ABOUT YOU YOU YOURSELF ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU HAVE GIVEN HIS OR HER SENSIBILITIES THAT IMPRESSION EXACTLY AS WHEN YOU LOOK IN A MIRROR YOUR REFLECTION IS REPRODUCED PEOPLE COMPLAIN OF BEING MISUNDERSTOOD BUT IT IS BECAUSE THEY THEMSELVES UNCONSCIOUSLY PERHAPS HAVE GIVEN THE CAUSE FOR MISUNDERSTANDING A GIRL MAY SAY A MAN IS A BRUTE AND A FALSE TRAITOR BECAUSE IN MAY HE WAS PASSIONATELY LOVING MAKING EVERY VOW TO HER BUT BY OCTOBER HE HAD COOLED AND BY DECEMBER HE HAD BECOME IN LOVE WITH SOME ONE ELSE GRANTED THAT SOME MEN HAVE FICKLE NATURES AND MORE EASILY STRAY THAN OTHERS STILL THE ACTUAL EMOTION FOR A PARTICULAR PERSON IS NOT UNDER ANY HUMAN BEING'S CONTROL ONLY THE DEMONSTRATIONS OF IT
