“Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.” - C.S. Lewis

Decryption of quote

Love is often misunderstood as just a warm and fuzzy feeling that makes our hearts flutter and our minds race. But in reality, it is so much more than that. It is a deep and unwavering wish for the well-being and happiness of the person we care about.

When we truly love someone, we don't just want what is best for them in the moment, but we strive for their ultimate good in the long run. We want to see them grow, succeed, and thrive in every aspect of their lives.

This kind of love is not fleeting or temporary. It is a steady and enduring commitment to the other person's well-being, even when times get tough or challenges arise.

We are willing to make sacrifices, to put their needs above our own, and to support them in their journey towards fulfillment and happiness. This is the true essence of love.

It is not about possessiveness or control, but about empowering the other person to be the best version of themselves. It is about encouraging them to reach their full potential and to achieve their goals and dreams.

So, let us strive to love in this way – with a pure and selfless heart that seeks only the good of the ones we cherish. Let us support and encourage them in their journey, and celebrate their successes as if they were our own.

For in the end, love is not just a feeling, but a choice – a choice to care for and nurture the well-being of those we hold dear. And that, my friends, is the most beautiful and powerful gift we can give to another human being.
