But love, honest love, requires empathy. It is a sharingโof joy, of pain, of laughter, and of tears. Honest love makes oneโs soul a reflection of the partnerโs moods. And as a room seems larger when it is lined with mirrors, so do the joys become amplified. And as the individual items within the mirrored room seem less acute, so does pain diminish and fade, stretched thin by the sharing. That is the beauty of love, whether in passion or friendship. A sharing that multiplies the joys and thins the pains.
R. A. SalvatoreWe need to be reminded sometimes that a sunrise last but a few minutes. But its beauty can burn in our hearts eternally.
