That is a battle that you will eventually lose, so lose it early and get on with your life. If they don’t come back, you would only have been fighting a losing battle to hold on to them. In each of these cases, the love (true love) is only in one direction, the other direction of love is tainted by the reason for the love (something other than true love).īy turning the other person loose, they if they come back, it is (one hopes) because they love you, and the feeling is mutual. The freedom to choose is important, as sometimes a love is out of duty, loyalty, fear (of loneliness or retaliation) or for some other reason.

If you love someone, you have to give them the freedom to choose for itself. This quote talks about mutual love and of the only valid test.

To me, this quote is speaking of the most fundamental rule of the universe. I mean “True Love.” From the movie The Princess Bride.
