"L'amour que nous avons dans notre jeunesse est superficiel comparé à l'amour qu'un vieil homme a pour sa vieille femme"
— Will Durant
Simplified Meaning:
When we are young, the love we feel can be exciting and intense, but it often lacks depth and understanding. It’s like being thrilled about a new hobby that you haven't yet fully explored. As people grow older together, they face many challenges and experiences that strengthen their bond. Their love matures and becomes more meaningful. For example, think about a couple who have been married for fifty years. They've supported each other through good times and tough times, understanding each other's flaws and qualities. This deep, mature love is much richer because it's built on years of trust, respect, and shared memories. So, someone can apply this wisdom by being patient in their relationships and letting love grow and develop over time, rather than expecting it to be perfect from the start.
