Love involves seeing the potential within the person we love. In my love for another, I view her or him as the person she or he can become, while still accepting who and what the person is now. Goethe’s observation is relevant here: by taking people as they are, we make them worse, but by treating them as if they already were what they ought to be, we help make them better. 爱还包含能够看到我所爱的人的潜力。我爱的那个人,我一方面承认他的现状,另一方面我视他为将来能够成为的那个人,歌德曾说过:我如果按照你的现状来对待你,我只能使你越来越差,但要是按照你应该达到的目标来对待和要求你,我就会促使你变得更好。
