Summary

This quote highlights the paradoxical nature of love. It suggests that although love brings with it numerous worries and concerns, these burdens are still more fulfilling than any pleasures one can find outside the realm of love. It emphasizes that the deep care and concern we have for the person we love outweigh any external sources of happiness. In essence, love implies the acceptance of both joys and hardships, ultimately rendering it a profoundly valuable and essential aspect of life.

You often say ; I would give , but only to the deserving, The trees in your orchard say not so , nor the flocks in your pasture.Surely he who is worthy to receive his days and nights is worthy of all else from you.And he who has deserved to drink from the ocean of life deserves to fill his cup from your little stream. See first that youyourself deserve to be a giver , and an insturument of giving.For in truth it is life that gives unto life-while you , who deem yourself a giver , is but a witness.

I'm going to do a lot of weird stuff that's not going to be like me prancing around like an insane 12-year-old. I showed everybody that side of me and I think it's time to do different stuff, even when it comes down to the type of humor. I want to do some drier, weirder stuff.
