愛的力量最偉大
愛只有一種,另外有上千種的愛類似卻不相同.
-洛克福考特
人最深切的需要是克服他的孤獨感,並且擺脫他寂寞的牢籠。要充分解決這一生存問題,只有求諸真實和成熟的愛。
怎樣才算是成熟的愛?成熟的愛是在一個人保持其正直及特性的條件下結合而成的。愛是人一種活躍的力量,這種力量可打破人與人的藩籬,使大家聯合一致。愛可使人克服孤獨和孤立的感覺,但仍使他保有自己的獨特個性。如果兩個人沈浸在愛中,他們雖合而為一,而他們各自獨立的個性卻仍屬存在的。
弗洛姆
On Love
“There is only one kind of love, but there are a thousand imitations.”
-DUC DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULD
The deepest need of man is the need to overcome his separateness, to leave the prison of his aloneness. The full answer to the problem of existence lies in true and mature love.
What is mature love? It is union under the condition of preserving one’s integrity, one’s individuality. Love is an power in man, a power which breaks through the walls which separate man form his fellow men, which unites him with others. Love makes him overcome the sense of isolation and separateness, yet it permits him to be himself. In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one and yet remain two.
