Most of our childhood is stored not in photos, but in certain biscuits, lights of day, smells, textures of carpet.

‘we throw a cordon of love around the chosen one, and decide that everything that lies within it will somehow be free of our faults and hence loveable’

Alain de Botton paints a romantic philosophical world in his book “On Love”

“Perhaps it is true that we do not really exist until there is someone there to see us existing, we cannot properly speak until there is someone who can understand what we are saying in essence, we are not wholly alive until we are loved.” ― Alain de Botton, On Love

Here’s something to get through, which left me wanting a whole lot more.

Alain de Botton is such a skillful literary scientist. He wrote about plenty of complex ideas and circumstances of relationships, mixing fiction, philosophy and creative writing to come up with such a thick, substantial form of incredible literary piece. It was a delightful experience to be exposed to the author’s prolific philosophical writing. 

Would love to know your thoughts about this, or how you yourselves desire to get through it as well.

The partner truly best suited to us is not the one who miraculously happens to share every taste, but the one who can negotiate differences in taste with intelligence and good grace. Rather than some notional idea of perfect complementarity, it is the capacity to tolerate dissimilarity that is the true marker of the "right" person. Compatibility is an achievement of love; it shouldn't be its precondition.

olanı ortaya çıkarsın , o çok önemsediğimiz , gizli kalmış yanımızı canlı tutsun istiyoruz.
