“True love means to love that which is unlovable; or it is no virtue at all.”

Leo Tolstoy

Simplified Meaning:

Real love is about caring for someone or something, even when it's really difficult to do so. Imagine a person who is kind only to those who are nice to them; that’s easy and doesn’t take much effort. But if you show kindness to someone who is mean or difficult, it shows real strength and virtue. For example, if a friend makes a big mistake and hurts your feelings, true love means forgiving them and still being there for them, even when you’re upset. This kind of love isn’t about being perfect; it’s about accepting and helping each other through the tough times. By showing love in these challenging situations, you truly understand and practice the deep and meaningful essence of love.
