“Love is something more than desire for sexual intercourse it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives”
— Bertrand Russell

Simplified Meaning:
Love goes beyond just wanting to be physically intimate with someone; it’s a way to avoid feeling lonely. Imagine a person who feels isolated and disconnected from others. Finding someone to share their life with, through love, can help them feel understood and less alone. For instance, think of an elderly couple who have been together for many years. Their bond isn't just about physical attraction but about deep companionship and support. They share their emotions, experiences, and daily lives, making each other’s days brighter and more meaningful. Embracing love in your life can help you build such meaningful connections and make your journey less lonely.
