“A man so painfully in love is capable of self-torture beyond belief”
— John Steinbeck
Simplified Meaning:
When someone is deeply in love, they can hurt themselves in unimaginable ways because of their strong feelings. Imagine a person who can't stop thinking about someone they love but can't have. Every time they see that person with someone else, it feels like a sharp pain in their heart. They might keep replaying what they did wrong or thinking about what could have been, making themselves suffer even more. It's like when someone watches a sad movie over and over, making themselves cry each time. People in this situation might do things that harm them emotionally, like isolating themselves from friends or neglecting their health, just because their love is so intense. To avoid this, it's important to care for oneself, seek support from friends, and try to focus on positive aspects of life.
