About This Quote
Lust makes you weak, passion makes you strong, love makes you brave, and heartache makes you wise. These are all qualities that increase the strength of the human mind. Lust is what makes us weak. We are so easily swayed by our desires for food, sex, money, etc.
The only thing lusting can help us with is to learn new things or to gain a new understanding of something that we already know. Passion is what makes us strong. When we think about a certain object or person, we will work harder and fight harder to get it.
Passion may make us weak but it also makes us strong because fighting for what we want can make us stronger as well as less apt to give up when times get tough. Love is what separates those who live from those who die. Love makes us brave as love allows us to do things that would terrify us if we were not in love.
In fact, the lover often suffers more than the one being loved because the lover will put their own happiness on the line for the sake of their lover. Finally, heartache is what gives us wisdom because it reminds us of the pain that comes from choices poor decisions sometimes bring about.
