Erich Fromm
Most people believe that love is a passive feeling you stumble upon by chance, but it is actually a demanding art that requires continuous knowledge, discipline, and effort.
Love is an active choice and a skill that must be cultivated through daily discipline, patience, and concentration.
To truly love another person, you must first develop a deep and genuine love for your own life and growth.
Modern consumer culture harms our capacity for true connection by treating human relationships like transactional exchanges.
