“You can't truly love someone and also fear losing them—that's just attachment masquerading as love”
Agree
- Real love exists without conditions
- Fear and love are opposite states
- Clinging is possession not devotion
- Anxiety proves you're incomplete alone
Disagree
- Caring means vulnerability to loss
- Fear reflects love's value
- Loss anxiety is natural and human
- This confuses stoicism with enlightenment
