Summary

This quote suggests that when we engage in a passionate relationship with someone who is more experienced and less emotionally invested than us, we risk losing ourselves in the process. Allowing someone to introduce us to passion when our desires are stronger than theirs can result in us becoming deeply attached while they remain emotionally detached. Consequently, they have power over us, owning our soul, while we do not have the same hold on them. It emphasizes the importance of equal investment and mutual feelings in relationships to avoid imbalances and potential heartbreak.
