Interpretation
What this quote means
True love involves selflessness and the willingness to make sacrifices for one another.

When you deeply care for someone, your actions naturally reflect that affection, often leading you to prioritize their needs and well-being above your own. Love is not just a feeling but a commitment that may require difficult choices and personal sacrifices to nurture and sustain the relationship.
