Blowing and Sprinkling

Long-lasting love cannot be unilateral. Imagine a blazing fire and two people in front of it. One is blowing on the flame to keep it alive while the other is sprinkling water on it. Can the fire be kept alive forever? Well, it might, provided the "blowing" is stronger than the "sprinkling". But sometime even the best intentions to make a relationship (romantic, family-related, friendly) work can succumb under the continuous drizzling of carelessness, irresponsibility, indifference. No need for a strong rain: a daily water dripping can be enough to put out what started as a blaze.
