Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

“Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized but yet ought to be actualized. Furthermore, by his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize these potentialities. By making him aware of what he can be and of what he should become, he makes these potentialities come true.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
Yes, love believes the best of a person and brings out the best of him or her. Love recognises the full potential of the person and helps actualise his or her hidden qualities to the fullest, like what the quote says. For example, my beloved twin flame inspires me to express my potential to love, as she builds me up through her encouragement  and support as well as sharing edifying nuggets of wisdom with me. I have been reflecting that conversing with my beloved is like a blessed homecoming to our resting place, where I take refuge from the performance-oriented system and mindset of the world that is based on the illusion of duality and separation, and be refreshed by our inner journey to discover more of our innate oneness and reawaken to our true divine identity as beloved and perfect spiritual beings on a human journey. Together, we shall continue to flourish and overcome the system of the world, and experience more of love and freedom from religion and condemnation both for ourselves and others around us.
