E.M. SwiftHookReal affection does not see anything in terms of 'rights', nor does it even care if it is reciprocated. It merely waits by the door and hopes." From 'A Walking Shadow
About This Quote
In a relationship, a couple may say that they love each other. They may tell their friends that they love each other. However, if the other person does not reciprocate this sentiment, then there is a serious problem. The reason why it is important to express love to the person you are in a relationship with is because it provides a sense of security.
If you feel secure, then you can be more open and honest with the person you love. In this quote from "A Walking Shadow," Satyajit Ray identifies what real affection looks like in a relationship. When two people truly want to be together and have each other's back for life, then they will not allow the situation to get too serious or too complicated.
As long as their partner loves them back and is willing to continue being there for them, then everything will be fine.
