About This Quote

This quote is the truth. The pain of being in love is so great that it can overwhelm you. The heart feels so much pain that you could be tormented by it forever. Love does not give in to the pain, but rather, makes you stronger.

You have to love in order for love to work for you. This is why this quote is telling us to try to love without enticements because if we are willing to do that, then the pain won’t be as much of a problem anymore.
