"誰かを愛するときは、その人がありのままの姿を愛し、自分が望むような人として愛するのではありません。"
— Leo Tolstoy
Simplified Meaning:
Loving someone means accepting them for who they truly are, including their flaws, habits, and personality traits, without trying to change them into what you want them to be. Imagine your best friend loves to paint and can sometimes make a mess. If you love them, you appreciate their creativity and excitement, even if it means there are paint splatters around. You don't try to stop them from painting just because you want a tidy space. The same goes for relationships – accepting and appreciating people for their true selves leads to a deeper and more meaningful connection. To put this into practice, focus on the things you love about someone and support their passions, rather than trying to mold them to fit an ideal image you have in your head. This approach helps build trust and respect, making relationships stronger and more genuine.
