Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.

Stiamo tutti cercando quella persona speciale che è giusta per noi. Ma se hai avuto abbastanza relazioni, inizi a sospettare che non ci sia una persona giusta, solo diversi gusti di sbagliato. Perché è questo? Perché tu stesso hai torto in qualche modo, e cerchi partner che sbagliano in qualche modo complementare. Ma ci vuole molto vivere per crescere pienamente nel proprio torto. Ed è solo quando non ti imbatti finalmente nei tuoi demoni più profondi, nei tuoi problemi irrisolvibili - quelli che ti rendono veramente quello che sei - che siamo pronti a trovare un compagno per tutta la vita. Solo allora sai finalmente cosa stai cercando. Stai cercando la persona sbagliata. Ma non solo una persona sbagliata: deve essere la persona giusta sbagliata, qualcuno che guardi amorevolmente e pensi: "Questo è il problema che voglio avere".

Trovo quella persona speciale che è sbagliata per me nel modo giusto.

Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.

We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of time living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn’t until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems—the ones that make you truly who you are—that we’re ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: the right wrong person—someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, “This is the problem I want to have.” I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way. Let our scars fall in love.
