What this world lacks most is the latter. The love and happiness you can’t feel have been accepted by someone on your behalf?

This is not an obvious statement: when you give up, someone has already got it, when you pursue something, someone has already taken the lead. If you don’t accept it, you can’t feel it. If you don’t accept it, someone has already accepted it for you. Got it! So you have to take the initiative to accept love and happiness. Don't be soft-spoken, stubborn, selfish, or indifferent!
