"أن يخدع المرء نفسه من الحب هو أسوأ خداع؛ فهو خسارة أبدية لا تعويض لها، لا في الزمن ولا في الأبدية."
— Soren Kierkegaard

Simplified Meaning:
When you deny yourself the chance to love or be loved, it is the worst kind of trick you can play on yourself. This kind of self-deception has long-lasting consequences that can never be fixed, not now and not ever. Imagine having an opportunity to make a wonderful friend, but you choose to push them away because you’re afraid of getting hurt. In the end, you might miss out on a deep connection that could have brought you a lot of happiness and support. Love, be it from friends, family, or a partner, adds special value to life, making it richer and more fulfilling. However, if you close yourself off from love, you might always feel a sense of emptiness or regret, because love is something precious that cannot be replaced once lost.
