A polarizing fruit became our mirror for love. From Bali’s lush rice fields to a temple in Vietnam, we follow a trail that starts with durian’s notorious smell and ends with a simple truth: love without understanding can hurt the very people we want to cherish. Drawing on a poignant story from Thich Nhat Hanh—where a monk literally “imprisons” a durian under a bell just to keep chanting—we explore why forcing our preferences, gifts, or plans is control, not care, and how curiosity can restore ease.
