If one were to put a car
gearbox in neutral position,
start the motor, place a brick
on the accelerator, it would
only take time to consume
a half tank of fuel when a
series of mechanical issues
presenting serious problems
such as over heating leading
to ruining the head gasket
even the possibility of seizing
the engine completely. Why?

If power is contained and not
transferred via revolutions of
the wheels and no air being
forced through the radiator by
means of movement, stationary
high revving vehicles implode.

If one were to apply this formula
to love, then the simile is not any
different assuming one is keeping
the secret to oneself.

By going and imparting this to
whoever it is one is in love with,
there may well be a rejection, but
a release is experienced and this
is what we call a transmission.
