dangerous love

Linda says that love is dangerous in slavery. Do you agree why or why not.

I feel that love in general is dangerous because at any time the other person could break your heart, but I feel that it is more dangerous in slavery because at any moment the person you love could be taken away. You have no control over what happens and you have no way of protecting the one you love. They could be whipped or tortured and all you can do is stand by and watch, or one day you could be with them and the next, they would be up on the auction block or being sold somewhere far away. In a slaves life nothing is permenant except the pain they feel, at any moment something you hold dear could be snatched away never to be seen again, and I think this is the point Linda is trying to make when she says love is dangerous.
