Zen Commandments Of Love

Ten Commandments Of Love
/. Thou shalt put no worldly
things before Love. Neither van
ity, nor ambition, nor money. nor
art. nor freedom, nor a job. For
Love Is life's carburetor. without
which all things else "go dead.
and glory seemeth as flat tire
EMPTY.
2. Thou shalt not be forward in
thy Love. For though is be not
criminal to love a man before he
hath given thee permission. it is
fatal to let him KNOW it. And
in the love-chase. every man de-
mandeth to be ut"
3. Thou shalt not take Love
lightly-nor a lover too seriously.
For lightness of kissing endeth in
heaviness of heart. And a credu-
lous woman is the sheik's pet
game.
4. Thou shalt not glorify petting
and sex-appeal in the name of
Love. For she that taketh the
1t in vain, and shall know not the
Real Thing from the five-and-te
variety.
5. Thou shalt not double-cross
another woman. For the love
that can be stolen" from an
other, can likewise be stolen from
thee. And she that stealeth an
other womans man. taketh her
own punishment right along.
.. Thou shalt not exalt domes-
ITCHY above Love, nor an immac.
ulate house above thy Beloved's
tranquility. For a mausoleum
may be neat, and an operating
room cleanly; but a LIVE man
seeketh not solace and joy therein.
And housekeeping complex is
deadly thing!
Z. Thou shalt not slay Love with
fault-finding. Neither with nag
ging nor with peevishness, nor
with suspicion nor with jealousy.
For True Love suffereth long and
is BLIND: forgiveth all things. be-
lieveth all things, and under
standeth all things.
8. Thou shalt not make of Love
a grappling-hook, nor a chain-and.
ball, nor a four-foot leash. Neither
shalt t1ou SMOTH FIR tha Relieved
in the name of Devotion. For
Love that is stifled soon escapeth
in search of free air!
3. Remember thy Love, to keep
it bright and shining. For once
its wings have been trailed in the
dust of chickering's and dragged
through the mud of deceit and
cheatings, they shall never again
soar toward the stars.
10. Thou shalt. in all things, be
