Don't starve an instinct with a lie on, Never hit or deceive a wounded lion. He heals faster than you can imagine And hurts even more when in famine.

About This Quote

The quote above is an example of the meaning of true love. People confuse love with affection and pleasure, but there is more to it than that. True love is like a lion, they are magnificent, but can be dangerous. Love can cause pain and suffering far beyond what you could imagine.

Emotions are not always pleasant, but they are necessary for life. The quote also shows how love can confuse people into thinking that they are hurting the person they love when they are really hurting themselves.
