"一人の人間が他の人間を愛することそれはおそらく私たちのすべての課題の中で最も難しいものであり究極のものであり最後の試練と証拠であり他のすべての仕事がそのための準備に過ぎない仕事です"
— Rainer Maria Rilke
Simplified Meaning:
Loving another person is one of the hardest things we can do. It's more challenging than most other things because it requires a deep level of understanding, patience, and selflessness. Imagine you are training for a marathon; you might think running the race is the tough part, but actually preparing for it—like training every day, eating right, and getting enough rest—is what really prepares you for that final challenge. Similarly, all the experiences we go through in life, like learning to share, communicating well, and being kind, are like training for the ultimate goal of truly loving someone. It's a test that shows how much we've grown and what we've learned about care and commitment. If you can truly love someone, it demonstrates your ability to connect deeply and sincerely with another person.
