"Is it possible maybe
To have a love so strong
That nothing could ever compare."
One of the most complex and difficult words I’ve known was the Korean word ”jeong (정)”. It is a very broad concept in Korea and really an important part of Korean people and culture.
One may define it as a connection feeling of friendliness or connection with everything that interacts with us, or a feeling of deep association with somebody or something to the point that it is a part of you and it is inseparable.
Of the many definitions in my dictionary, “feeling,” “compassion,” “sentiment,” and “affection” seem to come the closest, but none of them convey the real meaning or importance of the term. I see jeong existing between family members and close friends as an invisible force that binds them together. (Peter M. Beck)
Jeong is a very particular sentimental attitude that is without equivalence in other countries of the world. It is difficult to translate into English because it is a special one that goes beyond mere affection and loyalty.

“You don’t need another human being to make your life complete, but let’s be honest. Having your wounds kissed by someone who doesn’t see them as disasters in your soul but cracks to put their love into is the most calming thing in this world.”— Emery Allen (via yasodhara)
