Сущность любви - никогда не быть счастливой

Title
The essence of love
Translation
English

Translated by Pasana
Target language: English

The essence of love is never to be happy.
Remarks about the translation
Вместо "never to be happy", можно использовать "not to be always joyful". В таком случае, понятие "счастье" будет больше ассоциироваться с удовольствием.

Will agree with Aneta.

It may seems that "to be always unhappy" and "never to be happy" means the same. But when you try to imagine that eg "She was always unhappy" and "She was never happy (in her life)" it makes a difference (to me).

Hope this explanation has a sense to anyone else but me too

Thank you all!

I have edited the comment too - Siberia, could you have a look to see if it makes sense? I had to guess because I don't speak Russian.

Hi Lein,

the whole sentence doesn't have a lot of sense to me even in Russian, but translation is correct
