Love

Is it possible for the rose to say, "I will give my fragrance to the good people who smell me, but I will withhold it from the bad?"

Or is it possible for the lamp to say, "I will give my light to the good people in this room, but I will withhold it from the evil people"?

Or can a tree say, "I'll give my shade to the good people who rest under me, but I will withhold it from the bad"?

These are images of what Love is about.
