Now, in this paradox between love and desire, what seems to be so puzzling is that the very ingredients that nurture love -- mutuality, reciprocity, protection, worry, responsibility for the other -- are sometimes the very ingredients that stifle desire.
No, postoji paradoks između ljubavi i žudnje. Zbunjuje činjenica da isti sastojci koji hrane ljubav -- uzajamnost, recipročnost, zaštita, brižnost, odgovornost za drugoga -- ponekad su isti oni sastojci koji guše žudnju.
