What is love?

Unhealthy love: Desire to get attention and happiness from the other person (care, obedience, praise, caress, sex...) to fill up the emptiness in oneself. Such love is like an addiction to drugs. Once the medicine provided by the other party is insufficient, we will fall back into our own sense of emptiness, and worse, we will blame the other party for our own sense of emptiness. This kind of love, in fact, we still love ourselves.

Healthy love: Both parties are partners who explore life together. Life, life itself is beautiful and abundance, but this beauty and abundance are often overlooked and forgotten by us. People who truly love each other will work together to rediscover the beauty in life, point out the beauty they see to each other, and share their perception of beauty with each other. This kind of love is actually two people discovering love together.

To be able to love each other healthily, two people in love must first be able to love life independently. Otherwise, how can a person who is blind to beauty and love explore the beauty in life with his lover? The heroine (also the author) began to reflect on herself after experiencing many emotional and marriage failures. She traveled for a year. Whether she went to Italy, India, or Bali, she actually only did one thing-to love life independently. When she finally did it, it was also the moment when a new healthy love began.

    "I've always dreamed of this kind of life, but when I'm really in this kind of life, I feel like I'm out of tune with it." That's why I have to escape and have the same passion and vision as a girl all my life.

    As the last film watched in 2010, it seems to have some future significance. It just fits my current state. But I can’t travel around, I can’t chant sutras, but there are still many ways to get me out of such a bad 2010 and devote myself to the hopeful and most planned 2011. From now on, I have to be serious. To spend 2011. happy new year!

Eat Pray Love quotes

  • Felipe: Listen, balance, my darling, is not letting anybody love you less than you love yourself.

  • Liz Gilbert: In the end, I've come to believe in something I call "The Physics of the Quest." A force in nature governed by laws as real as the laws of gravity. The rule of Quest Physics goes something like this: If you're brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting, which can be anything from your house to bitter, old resentments, and set out on a truth-seeking journey, either externally or internally, and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher and if you are prepared, most of all, to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself, then the truth will not be withheld from you.
