Jonathan Safran FoerSo it had something to do with the sinner, and something with the judge, and the fear of not being forgiven, and the relief of being loved again.
About This Quote
It is the act of giving your heart to someone, understanding that it might be crushed in the process. You feel like an object, like you are less than human, but you push on regardless. Love is the only thing that makes us complete. It is the only thing that can make us whole.
There are many people who fall in love and get hurt. When this happens, there are other people out there who will give them a chance to start over. They can find comfort in knowing that they are loved for what they are.
But the difficulty lies in the fear of being rejected again. The fear of not being loved anymore.
