Do not show all your affection and love

I read by Ibn al-Jawzi, may God have mercy on him: It is wrong to show your love to your beloved, for he will be angry with you, and you will receive harm from him through neglect and abandonment.. So I said: It is advice from Ibn al-Jawzi that whenever you show all your love for your beloved You were subjected to all kinds of torment. This is not out of hatred on his part after he saw your great love for him. Rather, this is a human nature that only a wise person can understand. As long as you show your deep love to the one you love, he will leave you because he saw all the love in you. One of the maids said: Do not show affection to a lover lest he see Everything strange in your eyes. One day I showed my lover my affection, and I took my share of his abandonment. Hiding love is what is meant and you should show some love, not all of it. When you conceal most of it, your affairs become balanced. Even in your love for the child, you should not give him all your love so that he will dominate you... From the book Life Skills by the author Ibrahim Al-Shamlan
