Must Love Bind, or Can It Set Free?

Love, Dignity, and Boundaries

The meaning of love is to have a companion on the journey of life, someone to discuss things with, someone to share happiness with, and someone to share sadness with.

But is love meant to humble oneself to set off others, to fight and quarrel all day long, to torment and suffer? What is the meaning of loving like this?

You have to know that no matter who falls in love with whom first, everyone is equal. You should learn to respect each other and be grateful, instead of being self-righteous.

If you accept it, you must cherish it wholeheartedly; if you don’t accept it, then you must reject it directly and clearly.

You don't have to own someone to love them, but if you own someone, you must love them well; some love, if there is no fate, then keep it deep in the heart; some people, if there is no destiny, then turn away decisively.

Love requires dignity. If you lose your dignity, what else can you love? What else is worth loving?

In this life, the people I despise the most are those who keep pestering others after being rejected or broken up. You have the right to choose love, and others also have the right to pursue love. Why should others follow your ideas?

You have to know that love is free. No matter how much you love, as long as the other party is not willing, you must know when to stop.

If a person really loves you, they will belong to you in the end; if a person really doesn't love you, they will never belong to you with all their heart.
