Quote by Sigmund Freud

We are never so defensless against suffering as when we love.

We are never so defensless against suffering as when we love

Summary

This quote suggests that love leaves us vulnerable to suffering. When we deeply care for someone or something, we become more susceptible to pain and hurt. Love opens our hearts, making us more sensitive to the potential consequences and hardships that come with it. By exposing our emotions and investing in others, we invite the possibility of heartbreak and disappointment. In this state of vulnerability, we face the greatest risk of encountering suffering, as love is often intertwined with it.
