The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost

Summary

This quote suggests that to truly love something or someone, we must recognize the possibility of losing it. By acknowledging the impermanence of things, we are more likely to fully appreciate and cherish them. It emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment and valuing the people, experiences, and possessions in our lives, as they may not always be there. This understanding can lead to a deeper, more genuine love that is not taken for granted.
