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.
I dette paradoks mellem kærlighed og begær, hvor det forvirrende er at de selvsamme ingredienser der nærer kærligheden -- gensidighed, reciprocitet, beskyttelse, bekymring, ansvar for den anden -- nogle gange er de selvsamme ingredienser, der kvæler begær.
