— Mother Teresa

Simplified Meaning:
Love starts with looking after the people who are nearest to us—our family and those we live with. This means helping out with chores, listening to each other’s problems, or simply spending time together. For example, if someone has elderly parents, love might mean making sure they are comfortable, have their meals, and feel valued. It’s about showing affection and support right where we are, rather than looking far away for people to help. When we care for those at home, it builds strong, trusting relationships. By starting with our closest ones, we learn the true meaning of love and can then share that understanding with the wider world.
