Storytelling打动人心
讲者讲述了很多关于爱情的小故事，比较打动人心，让人印象深刻。
- Humans were once creatures with four arms, four legs, and two faces. One day, they angered the gods, and Zeus sliced them all in two..
- Luckily, Buddha discovered the eight-fold path, a sort of program for extinguishing the fires of desire so that we can reach Nirvana..
- The novelist Cao Xueqin illustrated this Buddhist sentiment that romantic love is folly in one of China's greatest classical novels, "Dream of the Red Chamber."

浪漫的爱情给我们最美好或者最糟糕的体验，它让人捉摸不透，对于爱情我们有很多疑问。讲者对这些疑问列举了古往今来很多哲学家或名著中对爱情的不同理解。
开头提出爱情中人们的痛点
- Why do we choose to put ourselves through its emotional wringer? Does love make our lives meaningful, or is it an escape from our loneliness and suffering? Is love a disguise for our sexual desire, or a trick of biology to make us procreate? Is it all we need? Do we need it at all?

Love is the longing to find a soulmate who'll make us feel whole again.
Love tricks us into having babies, love based in sexual desire was a voluptuous illusion.
Love is escape from our loneliness.
Love enriches our whole being, making it the best thing in life.
