Actually, I think loving someone should be easy. Living with someone, dedicating your life to them, this is hard. This takes time, patience and lots of effort. You get what you put in. But loving someone should be pretty easy. That love will evolve, no doubt about it, but it should be a prerequisite to the hard work to follow.

This was my point, loving someone should be easy, not hard. But keeping the person/relationship you love will not always be, sorry if that wasn't clear.

the understanding and dedication it takes to be on that level with someone else is incredibly impressive and valuable

This was the point that love comes easy>maintaining that bond/relationship is less easy.

but I chose to surround myself with people and circumstances that help me maintain a healthy outlook on #thehumancondition. So much of our experience is contingent upon who and what we surround ourselves with.

This is also my path of action, but I'm talking about outside of that. Like.... I want more people to be better. I want everyone to be good. I get that it's unreasonable though. Just think about it sometimes.
