Summary

This quote highlights the true essence of love - it goes beyond superficial notions of romance. Love, as portrayed here, is about making sacrifices and displaying selflessness. It involves putting the other person's welfare above one's own desires and needs. The quote suggests that love is not always about a fairy-tale ending with hearts and flowers; instead, it is about deeply caring for another person and prioritizing their well-being, even if it comes at a personal cost.
