About This Quote
Why is it so hard to articulate love yet so easy to express disappointment? Why is it so easy to express disappointment in a loved one or friend, but it’s so hard to say I love you? This quote comes from a book called The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker. I’m sure most of us have felt disappointed with a loved one or friend at some point in our lives. We know the pain that disappointment causes and we try our best to avoid it. Unfortunately, we can’t always succeed.
In fact, most of us fail miserably when faced with this pain. But the question is why do we fail when we want to express our love?
