Loyalty? Or an Open Relationship?

  

In creation, nothing has been left open or uncovered,

 

Do you know how many layers protect a single almond?

 

Maybe what you need is to think a little.

 

A tiny almond is wrapped in seven layers—do you know why?

 

Maybe what you need is to think a little.

 

Peas grow in pods, covered with seven zippers of protection.

 

Maybe what you need is to just think a little.

 

The human body is covered from head to toe with skin, and even the eyes have lids…

 

Maybe what you need is to just think a little.

 

All trees hide their roots, and their trunks are cloaked in bark…

 

Maybe what you need is to think a little.

 

You’ve eaten an orange—how many layers did you pass through to reach the fruit inside?

 

Maybe what you need is just to think.

 

What a coincidence—so it is with tangerines, lemons, and the others that just came to your mind...

 

Maybe what you need is to just think a little.

 

When everything is like this, people have also done the same—maybe knowingly, maybe not…

They print a book and add a cover, they make a notebook and add a cover, they produce something and put it in a box—maybe that's what packaging is all about, right?

 

Maybe what you need is to just think a little.

 

Wherever you look—even the air itself—everything is covered by something. A skin, a membrane, a shell, or a package.

 

Maybe what you need is to just think a little.

 

And what about the things left out in the open? What happens to them?

 

Maybe what you need is to just think a little.

 

Anything left out in the open ends up the same: *it spoils*. Food left outside goes bad. Meat begins to decay the moment it's exposed. A peeled fruit starts to rot and turn brown the instant it's uncovered. You squeeze an orange and don’t drink it—it spoils.

You’ve seen your skin get cut—or someone else’s, or an animal’s—what do we do? We cover it until it scabs over.

What happens when a workplace doesn’t shut its doors?

What happens when a person can't close their mouth?

 

Maybe what you need is to think a little.

 

Things are always covered by something—because being exposed is rarely in their favor.

 

So how can what’s inside a relationship—between two people or a family—flourish without a shell? Has it ever?

 

Maybe what you need is to just think a little.

 

Families and relationships wrapped in loyalty and walled in trust are full of flavor, aren’t they? Peaceful… strong within themselves?

 

Maybe what you need is to just think a little.

 

When being covered with the cloak of loyalty brought people peace, what exactly went wrong?

 

Maybe what you need is to just think a little.

 

When nothing was left exposed…

 

Maybe what you need is to just think a little.

 

So, what precious thing of yours have you ever left out in the open?

 

Maybe what you need is to just think a little.

 

Wherever you placed it—there lie your answers...

 

Maybe what you need is to just think a little.

 

So now, answer this: does a person put their *precious relationship* out in the open? Or something they *don’t truly value*?

 

Your soul is not your necklace—something to match your outfit. It’s one-of-a-kind, carried in your body, hidden because it’s *precious*.

 

Maybe what you need is to just think a little.

 

If you see yourself as valuable—or if you see the other person as valuable—why leave it exposed?

 

Maybe what you need is to just think a little.

 

Wrap your relationship in loyalty and become valuable. Grow within your shell, with discipline, with loyalty—let your bond form a protective crust. Then, to break it would require a hammer, more force than any single hand could manage…

 

Maybe what you need is to just think a little.

 

When nothing has been left exposed,

What does it mean for a relationship to be laid bare?

 

Maybe what you need is to just think a little!
