Отрывок из книги
We call a great variety of relationships love, though they are not really love.
1. Pity and devotion, which are more often the result of a sense of duty, guilt or fear rather than love.
.....
3. Strong affection, when one cannot be happy if his or her loved one is unhappy. As a result, striving to be happy, one tries to make the other person happy first (the one on whom his or her own state depends). That means that one partner imposes his or her will on the other partner and gets possessive.
Have the ability to be happy even when your loved ones are unhappy may seem selfish. But by giving up our happiness, we do not make others happier, we only become unhappy ourselves.
