No me gusta opinar de cosas que genuinamente no se, una de esas cosas es la filosofia, aun asi me gustaria destacar lo "facil" que fue leer esta obra a comparación de otros textos antiguos

“Love is just the name we give to the desire for and pursuit of wholeness.” !!! Obsessed with this dialogue. The idea that love comes in all shapes and forms but is essential in all facets of life is so refreshingly HUMAN. The view of the body as a conduit of all of the different forms of love we have experienced is so important. Being able to exercise agency in preparing the body to receive and give love (whether good or bad) is so powerful.

There's some juicy relationship drama in this book. Also unexpectedly quite funny.

Note: Aristophanes' speech was read for a school assignment.
