It takes great courage to see the world in all its tainted glory, and still to love it. And even more courage to see it in the one you love

About This Quote

You have a choice to do something or not. You can choose to love the world for all its flaws and imperfections, or you can choose to not love it at all. The world is a terrible place full of hatred, greed, and violence. Love is when you see it for what it is and still choose to love it anyway.

When you love someone, you must tolerate their faults and imperfections. You cannot change them or make them better. Instead, you must learn to bear with them.

Only when you have the strength to endure will you find your happiness within the world’s imperfections.
