The famous quote   by Rabindranath Tagore talks about two most important necessity of life love and freedom. To love someone is not   to possess them but to grant them freedom.

Throughout our life we come across examples where we are reminded of fact that to love someone selflessly is the most important trait

Ex: A mother’s love towards child is most selfless form of love where mothers let the children have the freedom to decide what they want once they come of age

A soldier who lays down his life for country does with utmost love and respect for country and not to gain any possession.
