One of the biggest lessons people on Earth have is the false belief that looks, money and power are requirements for love, when it’s the opposite.

About This Quote

So what does it take to get love? In short, it takes a lot of work. In a society where looks, money and power are the key ingredients for romance, it is so easy to get hurt. And yet, no one ever realizes how hard it is for people to find love. All the people who have been hurt have so many stories of being rejected and being hurt by love.

But they keep going back because they think that there’s some reason that they can’t get love right. In reality, it’s not that they can’t get love, but that they don’t know how to get love. To understand the difference between looks, money and power and love is a skill that everyone on Earth needs to learn.
