If you really love something, that means you want to own it and keep it in a cage, right?

No I really love my dog but I would never dream of putting him in a cage. One of the ways I avoid thinking I own a dog is I never buy a dog I get a free puppy from someone. Cheers and happy weekend!

It is a human tendency to hold and keep safe that/those which/who we love. 

Kahlil Gibran — 'If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.'

If you love something, set it free.
If it comes back, it is yours.
If it doesn't, HUNT IT DOWN AND KILL IT!
