Quote by D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence
I cannot cure myself of that most woeful of youth's follies -- thinking that those who care about us will care for the things that mean much to us.
Summary
This quote reflects on the common folly of expecting others, especially those who care about us, to share the same passion or emotional investment in the things that matter to us. It addresses the misguided belief that people automatically prioritize and value what is important to us, failing to recognize that everyone has their own unique perspectives and priorities. Despite the desire for validation and understanding, the quote suggests that it is ultimately up to individuals to take responsibility for their own interests and find fulfillment within themselves, rather than relying solely on the support and validation of others.
