Love Is Difficult
It is good to love, but love is difficult. For one human being to love
another human being is perhaps the most difficult task that has been
entrusted 1 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 2, anxious, upward-beating heart, they must learn to
love. But learning time is always a long, secluded 3 time ahead and far on
into life, and is solitude 4, a heightened and deepened kind of alonenness for
the person who loves. loving does not at first mean merging 5, surrendering or
uniting with another person; it is a high inducement for the individual to
ripen 6, to become something in himself, to become world in himself for the
sake of another person; it is a great demanding claim on him, something that
chooses him and calls him to vast distances. Only in this sense, as the task
of working on themselves, 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. It is perhaps that for which human lives as yet barely large
enough.
