Main points of the story
|
Only those who are capable of
being alone are capable of love. The capacity to be alone is the capacity to
love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it is not. It is an existential
truth…only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love,
of sharing, of going into the deepest core of the other person – without
possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing
the other to a thing and without becoming addicted to the other.
