Quote of the Day: Today's world is driven by a lot of unrealistic expectations, instant replies, and materialistic relationships and truly understanding another person has become very rare. People often love others with conditions, hidden hopes, and silent demands and expect loyalty, attention and effort in return. But German philosopher Walter Benjamin offered a much deeper and more painful idea about human connection and love. He says that we can only truly know someone when we love them without expecting anything back.
At first, you may find this quote uncomfortable but it is deeply human and is filled with emotions. It says that love in its purest form happens when it is possession, guarantees, and without the constant fear of losing something in return.
