Someone told me that it takes a strong person to love someone they have to let go. I don't believe that at all. Everyone you know you have to let go because nothing physical is forever. But if you love someone for who they are, you don't have to let them go. I think that is a distinction where most people are disillusioned: the difference in loving someone for who they are and loving someone for just being there.

Are you saying that you think love is forever? That time and space do not matter?

It's all a matter of your choice of perspective. You are right if love is taken as an object, which, like anything organic, can decay over time. Personally, I like to believe that love is forever. To the extreme analogy, if you love a person because of the appearance, that kind of love stays, and forever true if you shift your love towards someone who is younger and more attractive than your current or about to be dumped lovers. Back to the theme of whether it takes a strong person to love someone they have to let go. That sentence involves hidden assumptions that are not made known to the reader. Readers generally make quite a few assumptions about the following: Why you have to let go of person, how deep is the love, and in what respect is the strength of that person being under microscope. It is naive to just believe this statement without a complete knowledge of what circumstance for holding this statement. Therefore, I would incline to agree with the writer taking the view of love in the form of being physical. Love is a complicated subject if one has to look into the volume of literature work put into this area over centuries. Instead of reading more for 2nd (or nth?) hand info, why not venture yourself to experience it?
