Quote by Leo Tolstoy
In order to feel complete love, we can either delude ourselves that some imperfect object of our love is perfection or we can love perfection, which is God.
Summary
This quote suggests that in the pursuit of experiencing complete love, we have two choices. The first is to deceive ourselves into believing that the imperfect beings or things we love are flawless, thereby placing them on a pedestal of perfection. The second option is to direct our love towards the idea of perfection itself, which is often associated with the divine or with God. By doing so, we strive to transcend the limitations of human imperfection and connect with a higher, more pure form of love.
