“Love is sweet, dearest Ned, but it cannot change a man's nature”
— George R.R. Martin

Simplified Meaning:
Loving someone is wonderful and can bring happiness, but it doesn't mean you can change who they are deep down. Imagine a person who always gets angry very quickly. Even if you love them a lot and care for them, your love alone won't stop them from getting angry. It's like having a friend who loves sweets but cannot stop eating them even though you wish they would eat healthier. Your love for them doesn't change their craving for sweets. In our lives, if we accept this, we won't be disappointed if people don't change just because we love them. Instead, focus on loving them for who they truly are, and not for what you wish they would become.
