Love is Difficult
It is good to love,but love is difficult.
For one human being to love another human being:that is perhaps the most difficult task that has been entrusted to
us,the ultimate task,the final test and proof,the work for which all other work is merely perparation.
That is why young people,who are beginners in everything,are not yet capable of love:it is something they must learn.
With their whole being,with all their forces,gathered around their solitary,anxious,upward-beating heart,they must learn to
love,But learning time is alawys a iong,secluded time ahead and far on into life,is solitude,a heightenedand deepened
kind of alonenness for the person who loves.loving does not at first mean merging,surrendering or uniting with another
person (what would a union be for two people who are unclarified,unfinished,and still incoherent?);it is a high inducement
for the individual to ripen,to become something in himself,to become world,to become world in himself for the sake of
another person;it is a great,demanding claim om him,something that chooses him and calls himto vast distances.
Only in this sense,as the task of working on themselves (to hearken and to hammer day and night),may young people
use the love that is given to them.
Merging and surrendering and every kind of communion is not for them (who must still,for a long,long time,save and
gather themselves),it is the ultimate,is perhaps that for which human lives as yet barely large enough.
——Rainei Maria Rilke
