“A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.” – Mahatma Gandhi
It takes bravery to show love, to give love, and to be vulnerable. If you are a “lone wolf,” if you are steely and hardened, you feel impervious because you think that you have no chinks in your armor. But this is a cold and lonely way of living life.
To display love, you have to open yourself up to your loved one(s). They will know the most intimate details of your life – things that you wouldn’t dream of telling others, and things that, if in the wrong hands, could be used to hurt you. But that is the risk you take when you’re in love, and it’s a risk that only the brave are willing to take.
