Why can’t we learn to let go

An Aquarius monk and his Taurus novitiate were walking back to their monastery after a sudden rain.. They came upon a young woman crying because she could not wade through a flash flood over the dirt road. ‘I want to go home! I can’t get across.” she cried. The older Aquarius monk picked up the girl and carried her to the other side, put her down and resumed his walk Filled with priggish self righteousness the young Taurus monk started getting more and more aggravated, finally he asked in a pointed voice, “Why did you do that? We are celibate, even touching a woman is forbidden. You picked her up and carried her!” The older monk smiled and said, “ I put her down on the other side of the stream, you are still carrying her.”
