Don the donkey danced a dainty jig, down by the dusty dunes. Delighted by his deft moves, the desert denizens declared him a true dance king. Don kept on dancing day and night, dazzling all who dared to doubt his dope dance skills. But late one moonlit evening, Don's dance partner ditched him and disappeared, leaving him disheartened and despondent. Determined to keep dancing, Don dusted off his hooves and danced solo, realising that even without a partner, he could still dominate the dance floor. The end.
Romantic love allows you to focus mating energy. Attachment sustains that relationship as long as necessary to raise your baby.
