"We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love"
- Nhat Hanh
About this Quote
This quote by Nhat Hanh speaks with the significance of understanding the person we wish to like. Love is not simply a desire to have someone, yet rather a good understanding and also respect for the needs of both events. If we just think of ourselves as well as our very own requirements, we can not really love another person. We should be willing to place in the initiative to recognize the various other person and their requirements in order to genuinely love them. Love is not a discriminatory affair, but instead a two-way street. We need to be willing to exchange in order to make a connection job. We should agree to pay attention and also be open to the requirements of the various other person, and also agree to compromise and make sacrifices in order to make the relationship job. Love is not almost getting what we desire, but instead concerning understanding and also valuing the needs of the other person.
This quote is written / told by Nhat Hanh somewhere between October 11, 1926 and today. He was a famous Activist from Vietnam.

"A bell's not a bell 'til you ring it, A song's not a song 'til you sing it, Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay, Love isn't love 'til you give it away!"
