His definition of love has me thinking a lot lately.

„Liebe ist das unbedingte Interesse an der Entfaltung des Anderen"

„Love is the unconditional concern for the realization of the other’s potential." (non-verbatim translation)

I had to let that sink in for a while.

And it can be said about the love you have for yourself, too.

That is a beautiful definition. I love how it puts the emphasis on the one who’s loved. love is not just a doing word, it is also a word that is more about the object than the subject.

It is also far more meaningful than to just flatly translate love with attraction.
