"عشق فقط یک فعل نیست این تو هستی که در آینه نگاه می کنی"
— Kendrick Lamar
Simplified Meaning:
When someone says "love is not just a verb, it's you looking in the mirror," they mean that love goes beyond just actions or saying "I love you." It's also about understanding yourself and how you see yourself. Imagine you’re looking in a mirror. You see your own reflection and you need to love that person you see. For example, if you care deeply for a friend, you do things for them, like helping them move or listening when they need to talk. Those actions are important, but they aren't everything. You also need to feel good about yourself because if you don't love and respect who you are, it's harder to truly love someone else. Think about how flight attendants tell you to put on your own oxygen mask before helping others. You must take care of yourself first so you can be there for others. So, to follow this advice, start by practicing self-love. Take time to acknowledge your strengths, forgive yourself for mistakes, and treat yourself with kindness. When you love who you are, it becomes easier to show genuine love and care for others in your life.
