About This Quote
Only a person who is motivated in the inner depths of his being will help without hesitation and with no obligation for the one helped. A person who is not helping you because he owes you anything. But, to truly love you, he will help because it is his right to be helpful to those who need his assistance. When we truly love our neighbor, we will help him and support him and do what we can to make him happy and fulfilled.
We will do this without expecting anything in return. People who don’t love you should not expect you to do anything for them, but they should at least feel free to ask for your help when they need it. This quote reminds us that love does not mean that you must take care of others.
After all, we often get so caught up in taking care of others that we neglect our own needs. Though I would prefer not to be dependent on anyone else, I realize that giving and loving others does not mean that I must be needy or clingy. We should love others and be willing to give them what they need, but we should also remember our own needs and desires.
