Proximity scares many of us. Genuine relationships are really risky: we open up to another person, but the match with him may not happen, and this will hurt.
This is why so often we avoid deep relationships. But is it possible to love, to give, if you do not allow yourself to enjoy receiving?
A truly adult, mature love relationship is like a dance together. Partners move together, to the beat of common music, but at the same time they have the opportunity to change places, step aside or take a step forward.
The love that you give and receive only expands the boundaries as a result of this alternation.

Many people in their declining years ask themselves: “Have I managed to fall in love? Have I been able to convey the power of my feelings to my life partner? Could he rejoice in his feeling? Throughout our lives, we learn to give and receive, so that as a result we can say to ourselves: “How wonderful it is to feel love!”
In both senses of the phrase.
