About This Quote
The passion for understanding the soul of another person is a great thing. It can be an intimate relationship with a good friend or a close relative, but it is still a kind of passion. However, the lust for knowledge of the soul is something that takes over your life and can consume you completely. The lust for knowledge of the soul can turn into an obsession, which causes problems with that person. It’s almost as if you are trying to fix their soul rather than understand it.
