“Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command.”
— Alan Watts

Simplified Meaning:
It's important not to act like you love someone if you really don’t. Love isn't something we can control or fake. For example, imagine telling someone you love them just to make them happy or to get something from them. This can hurt both people involved because the love isn’t real. It’s like planting a plastic flower—it may look nice, but it will never grow or be genuine. In life, it's better to be honest about our feelings, even if it's difficult. This way, relationships are built on truth and sincerity, not on false emotions.
