Summary

This quote suggests that true love is characterized by giving and taking without limitations or conditions. Love should not be treated as a transaction where one person gives something to receive something in return. Instead, it should be a selfless act that focuses on the well-being and happiness of both parties. Love should not keep track of who has given more or less, but rather be a harmonious balance where both individuals contribute without keeping score.
