"一个人去爱另一个人:这也许是我们所有任务中最困难的,最终的,最后的考验和证明,是所有其他工作只是准备的工作。"
— 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.
