This book is about love, how we fall in love, why we fall in love, and how much we suffer if unable to love or be loved. The need to love and be loved can be read as the prototype of every human need and every relationship between human beings. To be loved is wishing to be seen, known, and recognized for what we are in our deepest and most hidden inner self in our wildest desires to live and be free. It is a need for knowledge, gratefulness, and recognition. Literature, cinema, and our very experience of life tell us about it.
