"愛するということは保証なしで自分を捧げることであり、私たちの愛が愛される人の中に愛を生み出すことを望んで完全に自分を委ねることです。"
— Erich Fromm
Simplified Meaning:
Loving someone means taking a big risk. When you love, you give all your care and feelings to another person without knowing for sure if they will love you back. Imagine planting a seed in your garden. You water it and take care of it, but there is no promise it will grow into a beautiful flower. Similarly, when you love someone, you're hoping your love will make them love you too, just like hoping the seed will grow. This idea teaches us to be brave and open-hearted in relationships, even if there are no guarantees. It's about having faith that your efforts and emotions can make a positive difference.
