“A man so painfully in love is capable of self-torture beyond belief”
— John Steinbeck
Simplified Meaning:
When someone is deeply in love, they often do things that cause them a lot of pain. They might overthink everything their partner says or does, worry constantly about the relationship, and even hurt their own feelings by imagining problems that aren't really there. Think about a person who keeps checking their phone every few minutes, hoping for a message from the one they love. If the message doesn't come, they start feeling sad and questioning if something is wrong, even if nothing is. This kind of behavior can make them feel miserable, even though it's all in their mind. By focusing too much on their love, they end up making themselves suffer. Applying this lesson, it's important to find a balance in relationships and not let love become an excuse for self-inflicted unhappiness.
