This hurts me more than it does you.

I am doing it for your own good.

I love you too much to hurt you.

All the lines we have heard in our lifetime, but what do they mean? Thinking about love, we want to love and be loved completely. That means that we want above all for the person we love to be happy. We want the best opportunities for them, the best possibilities.

So what happens when we make a decision that we know will hurt them? Are there ever good reasons to do that? Or do we use that line to justify the selfishness of our act?
