Summary

This quote emphasizes that love is more than just a fleeting emotion or attraction; it is a conscious decision and duty. In the modern portrayal of love, often depicted in music and theater, it has been overly romanticized, associating it solely with external factors like beauty, charm, and sensuality. Consequently, the deeper meaning of love, which involves cherishing and nurturing one another, has been overshadowed. The quote urges us to recognize that love should be a commandment, guiding us towards genuine care and support for those we love.
