Question

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

i dont get it

thank you

Answer 1

It means that as a sentient being, love is a motivating factor in life. Love in the sense that you love someone or something, whatever that may be. If you lack love, or are afraid of love, you are likely a morose, misanthropic person who is wasting away instead of finding pleasure in things and persons around you. If you love nothing, you are basically already dead to the world.  

Answer 2

They need to be shown the light. Or else there's no redemption for them.

Answer 3

basically it means that if youre afraid to love then your not really living that in order to live fully and experience life its mandatory that you love yes even if its people who arent love worthy like grouchy cousins
