What is Love & What is Trust?

I wrote a blog post called Foxhole Partner which describes a partnership or friendship where two people count on having their own and the other’s best interests at heart, and they watch out for themselves and each other.

I found quotes with definitions of both love and trust, which are applicable to foxhole partnerships and friendships.

What is Love?

"[Love is] being appreciated, valued and wanted… To love something is to take it as a part of you. This naturally gives rise to experiences like compassion, closeness, understanding, empathy, caring and appreciation. When we love something, we can't actually hurt that thing or act against its best interests without hurting ourselves in some way."

- Teal Swan

What is Trust?

"A relationship which is founded on trust is founded upon the principle that, because we are in a relationship, your best interests are part of my best interests and vice versa. So there's no possible way that I could damage you without hurting myself. Then both of us are actually making space for our needs, wants, thoughts, feelings, and boundaries."
