Is love supposed to ruin you? It seems to me you shouldn't destroy yourself out of life for purposes of love--or what good is it?
In Saul Bellow's "The Adventures of Augie March," a thought-provoking question is posed about the true meaning of love and its impact on individuals. The quote suggests that love should not lead one to self-destruction or sacrifice one’s well-being for the sake of romantic ideals. It challenges the notion that love should come at the cost of personal stability or happiness.
This perspective invites readers to reflect on the boundaries of love and the importance of maintaining one's identity and health in relationships. Ultimately, it implies that love should enrich life rather than undermine it, prompting a reevaluation of how we approach love and its complexities.
