Hello, dear readers! Today I want to share with you a beautiful line of poetry that has inspired me for a long time. It is from a poem called "The More Loving One" by W.H. Auden, and it goes like this:

If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

Isn't that a wonderful expression of love and generosity? It means that even if the person we love does not love us back as much as we do, we should not be bitter or resentful. Instead, we should be happy to give more love than we receive, and find joy in being the more loving one.

I think this is a very powerful and positive attitude to have in life. It shows that we are not dependent on others for our happiness, but rather we create it ourselves by choosing to love more. It also shows that we are not afraid of rejection or disappointment, but rather we embrace them as part of the human experience. And most importantly, it shows that we are not selfish or possessive, but rather we respect the freedom and feelings of the other person.

Of course, this does not mean that we should settle for less than we deserve, or that we should ignore our own needs and desires. It just means that we should not let our love be conditional on the other person's response. We should love them for who they are, not for what they can give us. And we should love ourselves enough to know that we are worthy of love, regardless of how others treat us.

So, next time you feel like your love is not reciprocated, or that you are giving more than you are getting, remember this line of poetry and say it to yourself:

If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

And see how it changes your perspective and your mood. You might find that you are happier and more fulfilled than ever before. And who knows, maybe your love will inspire the other person to love you more too.
