Rainer Maria Rilke said the highest form of love is to be the protector of another person's solitude. And that is it, isn't it? The highest form of love is to be the protector of another person's solitude. So being that calm space that they can revert to, being that person where they can be at their calmest, at their most vulnerable. In their solitude. That is indeed the highest form of love. So, if there is too much crazy going on in your life, if there's too much strife, conflict, frustration, think about whether or not this is the right place for you to be. Think about whether or not there's something else out there that'll give you the solitude that you deserve.
