“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
Unless those walls have gates. Most of the worlds smartest people prefer solitude a majority of their time, and those like myself, are very selective with who gets through that proverbial gate. 🙂
That may be true of some but I’d like to believe not true for all. After all, wouldn’t those walls hide visitors I never seen invited within with open arms?
Nice
Thanks
☺️
So true!
Glad you agree!
very nice

That reminds me that there is only one direction in life: Forward.
Yes, that’s so true!
I would have to fully agree.

Wow that is so true. I think people who build walls around themselves end up alone and miserable. You can’t find love if you can’t let someone in.

Yeah that’s true. But I think a lot of people just have walls and don’t let anyone in at all which is very sad.
