About This Quote

The most acceptable definition of love is that it is "a strong affection for another person." We often refer to the kind of love that benefits others as charitable love, which is a very powerful thing to have. But what about the kind of love that makes you feel good about yourself? After all, if someone else's happiness is so important to you, why wouldn't you love yourself? If you were honest, how would you feel if someone told you they would die without your help? Love will always be given and received in both ways. We should never stop loving one another.
