Summary

This quote suggests that when individuals truly love someone, there is a remarkable phenomenon that occurs. Rather than diminishing their love or possessions, it actually multiplies. The act of giving and expressing love generously enhances the emotional connection and deepens the sense of possession in the relationship. This implies that love is not a finite resource that depletes with giving, but rather an infinite source that flourishes and expands the more it is shared.
