About this Quote

This quote by Miguel de Unamuno speaks to the power of love and compassion. To love with the spirit is to have a deep understanding and empathy for another individual. It is to recognize their struggles and to feel compassion for them. This sort of love is not based on physical attraction or a desire for something in return, but rather on a genuine desire to assist and support another person. He who pities most likes most due to the fact that they are able to acknowledge the suffering of another and feel a strong desire to help them. This type of love is not only advantageous to the individual being enjoyed, but also to the individual doing the caring. It is a powerful and rewarding experience to be able to reveal love and empathy to another person.
