"Amar en absoluto es ser vulnerable"
— C. S. Lewis

Simplified Meaning:
When you love someone or something, you open yourself up to the possibility of getting hurt. Imagine you have a pet dog that you love very much. Because you care about the dog, losing it or it getting sick would make you very sad. By loving your pet, you accept that you could feel pain if something bad happens to it. The same goes for loving people, like friends or family. You let your guard down to connect deeply with them, which means they have the power to make you happy, but they can also make you sad or disappointed. Accepting this risk is a part of experiencing true love and deep relationships.
