“Love finds an altar for forbidden fires” is a poetic way of saying that love can find a way to exist,even in the moast unlikely or disallowed circumstances. The “altar” symbolizes a sacred place reserved for something revered or worshipped. In this context, it refers to the sanctity adn reverence associated with love. The “forbidden fires” allude to passionate love that might be socially unacceptable or frowned upon due to various reasons like age, status, religion, race etc.
This quote suggests that despite societal norms and restrictions, love has the power to carve its own niche where it can thrive unabated. It signifies the resilience and audacity of love in overcoming obstacles.
In today’s world where societies are more open-minded than before but still bound by certain norms and prejudices, this quote remains relevant. As an example, inter-racial marriages were onc considered taboo but are now widely accepted in many parts of the world. Similarly, same-sex relationships have gained recognition over time as societies evolve.
From a personal advancement perspective too this idea holds significance. Often we restrict ourselves from pursuing what we truly desire due to fear of societal judgement or self-imposed limitations. however, just like how ‘love finds an altar for forbidden fires’, if we are passionate about something – be it a career choice outside our field of study or adopting unconventional lifestyle choices – we can create our own space for these ‘forbidden’ desires amidst societal barriers.
In essence then: when there is passion (in any form), there will always be ways around obstacles – both external (societal) and internal (self-doubt). This concept encourages individuals not only towards acceptance of diverse forms of love but also motivates them towards being true to their passions without fearing judgement.
