“I like not only to be loved but also to be told I am loved”
— George Eliot

Simplified Meaning:
Everybody enjoys feeling loved, but it is also important to hear it from others. Imagine celebrating your birthday and receiving gifts and smiles from your family and friends; it feels great, right? Now, think about how much warmer it feels when they say, “We love you” or “You mean so much to us.” Hearing these words can make someone feel even more appreciated and happy. It’s the difference between showing kindness and also saying out loud how much you care. Just like how telling someone "thank you" after they help you makes them feel good, saying "I love you" lets people know they are truly valued. Everyone benefits from hearing positive words, so don't just show love - say it too.
