Granted  but this only brings in a third influence  it does not _throw the blame upon the needle_. So I want you to understand, Caroline, that if a man ceases to love you it is your own fault  or misfortune  never his fault; just as, if you cease to love the man, it is his fault or misfortune, not yours. GRANTED BUT THIS ONLY BRINGS IN A THIRD INFLUENCE IT DOES NOT THROW THE BLAME UPON THE NEEDLE SO I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND CAROLINE THAT IF A MAN CEASES TO LOVE YOU IT IS YOUR OWN FAULT OR A MISFORTUNE NEVER HIS FAULT JUST AS IF YOU CEASE TO LOVE THE MAN IT IS HIS FAULT OR MISFORTUNE NOT YOURS
on is not under any human being’s control, only the demonstrations of it. 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”). This state in man or woman is produced, as I said before, by some attraction in the loved one, just as a needle is attracted by a magnet. If the magnetic power were to lessen in the magnet the needle could not prevent itself from falling away from it--or if another and stronger magnet were placed near the needle it would be drawn to that. It--the needle--would only be obeying natural laws and therefore would not be responsible. Which, then, could you blame--the original magnet or the needle? Obviously the magnet is responsible. You may reply. But the magnet did not wish to lessen in attraction; that and the arrival of the stronger magnet were pure misfortunes and accidents of fate. MOTION FOR A PARTICULAR PERSON IS NOT UNDER ANY HUMAN BEING'S CONTROL ONLY THE DEMONSTRATIONS OF IT 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 THIS STATE IN MAN OR WOMAN IS PRODUCED AS I SAID BEFORE BY SOME ATTRACTION IN THE LOVED ONE JUST AS A NEEDLE IS ATTRACTED BY A MAGNET IF THE MAGNETIC POWER WERE TO LESSEN IN THE MAGNET THE NEEDLE COULD NOT PREVENT ITSELF FROM FALLING AWAY FROM IT OR IF ANOTHER OR STRONGER MAGNET WERE PLACED NEAR THE NEEDLE IT WOULD BE DRAWN TO THAT IT THE NEEDLE WOULD ONLY BE OBEYING NATURAL LAWS AND THEREFORE WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE WHICH THEN COULD YOU BLAME THE ORIGINAL MAGNET OR THE NEEDLE OBVIOUSLY THE MAGNET IS RESPONSIBLE YOU MAY REPLY BUT THE MAGNET DID NOT WISH TO LESSEN IN ATTRACTION THAT AND THE ARRIVAL OF THE STRONGER MAGNATE WERE PURE MISFORTUNES AND ACCIDENTS OF FATE
