"The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it is not. It is an existential truth: only those persons who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of the other person - without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other."
No matter how hard I try to understand, I still don't get it. It doesn't help when I was born with a brain that always unconsciously try to understand the complexity of everything, however, the human relationships are so complex that not a single fundamental rule or equation can apply to them. Maybe that's why I fell in love with science, even when things don't work, you can still trace to why. Why do we have to hate, or pretend to "like" someone? There's a thing called the middle ground where you can just stay neutral. Be a Neutron, only convert to positive when there's too much negatives charges that causes instability. With love.
