“We know so little about one another. We embrace a shadow and love a dream.” - Hjalmar Söderberg

Decryption of quote

"We know so little about one another. We embrace a shadow and love a dream."

These words speak to the profound mystery of human connection. Despite our best efforts to understand each other, there will always be aspects of ourselves that remain hidden, like shadows in the darkness.

When we meet someone new, we are often drawn to the image they present to the world - the dream they project of who they are. We fall in love with this idealized version of them, without truly knowing the depths of their soul.

But as we spend more time with them, we begin to see beyond the facade. We start to uncover the layers of complexity that make up their true self, and we realize that there is so much more to them than meets the eye.

It is in these moments of revelation that we truly come to know and understand another person. We see their flaws and imperfections, their fears and insecurities, and we love them all the more for it.

For it is in embracing the shadows and loving the reality of who someone is that we forge a deep and meaningful connection. It is in accepting them for who they truly are that we can truly love them, not just the dream we had of them.

So let us strive to see beyond the shadows and dreams that cloud our vision, and instead seek to know and love each other for who we truly are. In doing so, we can create authentic and lasting relationships built on trust, understanding, and acceptance.

For in the end, it is our ability to see and love the reality of another person that truly defines the depth of our connection with them.
