"...active love is that which will require you, at some point , to put aside self-interest in favour of the good of the other and the relationship"

: The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky


LOVE is like a fire. The starting, the crackling of flames on dry wood and leaves are the most beautiful. But to sustain the flames needs effort. Coals and fuel dont matter when you always have flames. Thus have a lot of wood to contribute to this fire to keep it flaming.
