愛的意義

[2012-08-20 PM19:41] 3Y11M. “Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features of the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized but yet ought to be actualized. Furthermore, by his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize these potentialities. By making him aware of what he can be and of what he should become, he makes these potentialities come true.” - Viktor E. Frankl
「唯有透過愛，才能理解他人的人格核心。除非愛對方，否則沒人能完全了解他人真正的本質。有了愛，他才能看見愛人最根本的特質與特色，而且還能看出尚未實現，但應該實現的潛力。除此之外，藉由這份愛，愛人者可以幫助被愛者實現這些潛力，藉由幫助他人意識到自己能成為、該成為什麼樣的人，就能實現這些潛力。」——維克多・弗蘭克
