"我们从未像在爱时那样对抗痛苦无能为力，在失去所爱的对象或其爱情时，我们从未如此无助地不幸。"
— Sigmund Freud

Simplified Meaning:
Love makes us very vulnerable to pain. When we care deeply about someone, we open ourselves up to getting hurt because their actions and feelings can strongly affect us. Think about losing a pet that you adore; it feels incredibly sad and empty because of how much you loved it. This deep connection means that if the love is taken away, or if the relationship changes, it can make us feel extremely sad and even powerless over our emotions. This shows that love, while wonderful, also has the potential to bring significant suffering if it's lost or if the person we love no longer cares for us. When we understand this, we can be more prepared for dealing with the highs and lows that come with loving others deeply.
