Summary

This quote highlights the difference between real love and romantic love. Real love is selfless, where the focus is on the well-being and happiness of the other person. It goes beyond mere attraction or infatuation. On the other hand, romantic love emphasizes desire and a longing for the other person, often driven by physical or emotional attraction. While both types of love can coexist, the quote suggests that true love is characterized by a genuine concern for the other person's overall welfare, rather than solely seeking personal gratification.
