About This Quote

Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. This quote actually reminds me of a saying I once heard: “A friend can be like a sister, but a sister cannot be like a friend.” People often confuse those who love them with those who love them more than them, those who think they know everything about you, and those who only want to be around you for your money and fame. Love is the best thing that we have and it should not be confused with anything else.

Love is pure and true and it comes from the heart. On the other hand, we can learn to feel fear and we can lose sight of what we love most – our family, our friends or even our hometown – because of this fear. We need to keep our hearts open so that we can see our loved ones clearly and find out what they really want from us instead of blindly following along with what others tell us to do.
