"We are never so defensless against suffering as when we love"

Sigmund Freud's quote speaks to the vulnerability that comes with caring someone. When we enjoy, we open ourselves as much as the possibility of suffering. We end up being mentally purchased the individual we love, and as an outcome, we are more exposed to the capacity of discomfort. We can be harmed by the actions of the person we love, or by the loss of them. We can also experience the worry of being declined or abandoned. Love can bring us great happiness, but it likewise leaves us susceptible to the possibility of suffering. Freud's quote advises us that when we like, we should be prepared to face the potential of pain.
