People that claim to be in a relationship with no strings attached are actually giving eachother enough rope to hang.
Our thoughts are shaped by our actions, and our emotions are shaped by our thoughts.
You cannot be acting out a sensual relationship, with vivid thoughts, and then be indifferent emotionally. That is one of the most convenient lies we tell ourselves to ignore the abyss we are falling into.
The only way to have a relationship with no strings attached is to not have a relationship. The less visible the strings are in a relationship, the more likely they are to become a noose.

Fame
Matthew 9:27-31
And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, “Have mercy on us, Son of David.” When he entered the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.” And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly charged them, “See that no one knows it.” But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.
Homily:
It is impossible to keep the goodness of God hidden within ourselves. Our lives show it.
We speak of what we believe, and we lift our voices as our words become reality.
Why then did Jesus bother to sternly warn those who believed, not to speak?
Those who understand fame, know that it comes with a crown of thorns, and a lifting cross. Only the naive actively courts fame.
