...I am sure that when we love we are better than ourselves

Summary

This quote suggests that love brings out the best in us, while hate brings out the worst. When we experience love, it allows us to transcend our limitations and become the best version of ourselves. Love encourages kindness, empathy, and compassion, leading us to make choices that benefit others as well. On the other hand, hate can blind us, clouding our judgment and causing us to act in ways that are detrimental to ourselves and others. It emphasizes the transformative power of love and warns against the destructive nature of hate.
