Quote by Aristotle

No one loves the man whom he fears.

No one loves the man whom he fears.

Summary

This quote suggests that fear and love are incompatible emotions. It implies that when a person fears another individual, they cannot truly love them. Love entails trust, openness, and vulnerability, characteristics that are undermined by fear. Fear creates distance and disrupts the possibility of genuine connection and affection. In this perspective, love requires a sense of safety and security, which cannot coexist with fear.

What made losing someone you loved bearable was not remember

What made losing someone you loved bearable was not remembering but forgetting. Forgetting small things first... it's amazing how much you could forget, and everything you forgot made that person less alive inside you until you could finally endure it. After more time passed you could let yourself remember, even want to remember. But even then what you felt those first days could return and remind you the grief was still there, like old barbed wire embedded in a tree's heartwood.
