“Loving is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction”
— Pablo Neruda
Simplified Meaning:
When two people are in a relationship, it's not enough for them to simply focus on each other. For a relationship to be truly strong and lasting, both people need to share common goals, values, and dreams. Think of it like two people in a boat; if they both row in different directions, the boat goes nowhere. But if they row together towards the same destination, they make progress and reach their goal. For example, if a couple wants to save money to buy a house, they need to plan and work together instead of spending their money on different things. This shared focus helps them grow closer and achieve things together. Applying this idea to any part of life means finding common ground and working together to achieve mutual goals, which strengthens the bond and makes the journey more fulfilling.
