Commentary on Macer

Abstract

"The other day when I watched a TV program, I saw a reporter asking a well-known actress why she decided to break off her engagement. Answering that question she said she finally found her concept of love completely different from her fiance's. For instance, her fiance thought that love means to do everything for one's partner when the partner wants something, but she said she did not think so. I think she is right. Love is not to simply fulfill a person's hope or desire. Loving someone means, in some cases, to leave the person completely alone, and let him/her endure hardships."
