They find nothing unusual about doing everything quickly, unconsciously, even embracing, and then they’re surprised they don’t receive much from their relationships with those they nevertheless call their friends. You meet someone. Well, in the first place, you don’t really need to embrace. But if you do, and even if you don’t, put your thought and soul into this meeting for at least a few seconds, and its taste and perfume will linger and follow you for a long time to come.
