" When you like a flower, you just pluck it. But when you love a flower, you water it daily. "
- Gautama Buddha
When you like someone or something, you want to experience everything with that thing or person. Like is an attraction, you can like anything in life or any person, it is mostly based on some attributes such as beauty and personality. Just like when you like a flower, you pluck it because you want that flower to be with you.
But when you like something or someone you start nurturing it, there is no selfish motive and you think about them before you. So when you love a flower, you water it daily because you want it to grow.
Like gives you fleeting pleasures, love gives you happiness.
