Quote of the Day by Jakucho Setouchi: In today's age of fast-paced social media and casual hookups on dating apps, love seems to have lost its real meaning. And in such times, the quote of the day by Japanese philosopher Jakucho Setouchi, “A person who has never suffered for love has never truly lived," gives a deep meaning about the timeless truth about human relationships. The quote simply means that real love cannot be completely painless.

When we love someone deeply, we are bound to become emotionally vulnerable and it means we might have to go through brutal heartbreaks, disappointment, longing, sacrifice and sometimes loss. According to Setouchi, these painful experiences don't mean that the person has failed in love but evidence that he/she has truly experienced life at its deepest level.
