vutran | July 17, 2020, 7:14 p.m.
“The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it's not.

They allow the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given by the other.”
― Osho
