About This Quote

This quote is a perfect example of self-help. The author is saying that we must love enough to take care of the people and things we value. We must love them enough to keep them clean and safe and not let them die of old age. We must also be willing to do all we can to keep them alive and healthy. This is true of our relationships with others and, in some cases, our relationships with ourselves.
