Summary
This quote suggests that love, when being expressed from the core of one's being, is characterized by compassion and empathy. When we truly love someone, we also feel a deep sense of pity and understanding towards them, regardless of their flaws or shortcomings. The more we are capable of feeling this empathy and pity towards others, the greater our capacity for love becomes. It implies that the highest form of love involves showing kindness and mercy, beyond mere affection.
