About This Quote
When you love someone, you do not think about whether they are good enough for you. Many people believe that love is a show of honour and that you should only love someone who can give you honour and respect. That is just not true. Love is not honourable, unless it is based on equality.
Love is not a competition where we compare each other to see who we should love more or who we should love less. When we love someone, we love them because they deserve to be loved and no matter how much we care about them, we cannot choose to love them more than anyone else. It’s wrong to think that there are people who deserve to be loved more than others.
