About this Quote

This quote by Bill Russell speaks to the trouble lots of people have in enabling themselves to be susceptible and open to enjoy. It suggests that it is easier to find someone to like us than it is to open ourselves as much as caring somebody else. This is due to the fact that caring somebody else needs us to take a danger and put ourselves out there, which can be a daunting prospect. It is typically easier to remain in our convenience zone and not take the threat of being harmed. Nevertheless, it is important to bear in mind that taking the danger of caring somebody else can lead to terrific benefits and a deep connection with another person. Eventually, it depends on each person to choose if they are willing to take the danger of loving somebody else.
