"It is better to use the term 'vulnerable' [which] directly qualifies love. Love is receiving and it is giving. It tears us away from ourselves (it is 'ex-static'), but it is also receptive of the other, of the loved one. And from the moment one is receptive, one is vulnerable; one is hurt by the person one welcomes, who might not be as considerate as he who welcomes him."
--M.D. Philippe
