Love was generous precisely because it could never be immort

Summary

This quote suggests that love possesses its generous qualities precisely because it is transient and limited. The idea is that because love is not eternal, it encourage people to appreciate and cherish the moments they have with loved ones. Knowing that love is impermanent drives individuals to be more generous, expressing their affection and care in order to make the most of the time they have. Love's fleeting nature compels people to seize the opportunity to show kindness and compassion, making it more meaningful and valuable.
