There are so easy and normal things in life, like love who are so much analysed and searched and researched about. And even more dreamed and talked about. Somehow, things may be easier.
Der kleine Buddha und die Sache mit der Liebe, by Claus Mikosch - that I had access in the audio format, read by Heidrun Warmuth -, part of a series featuring the adventures of the little Buddha is a short story about searching for love. Comically, the little Buddha does not know himself what love does it mean, but once asked by a lonely man about it, he starts a journey searching for it.
There is anything new about love that one will find out in this book, just some wise reminders that there is not only one definition about love and once found it is not necessarily there to stay. One may find a person to love and loved by, but there is no ownership of a person. Sometimes one may look for love his/her whole life, while forgetting to love oneself. Some are too weak to live other person free. People who expect other people to make them happy when they are deeply at war with themselves. Hence, the worned out classical line ´love yourself first´ which I find so normal and natural but apparently not everyone does it.
Maybe it is good sometimes to wait and figure out what you are looking for before searching for love. Or start your journey and enjoy the ride. Or, love your life and the blessings of the day and keep living. Love is beautiful and to love someone is a great feeling but sometimes it is not enough to make you, and the other person happy. Life facts...
The writing is fine, with some easygoing construction and a good German hearing experience for those chosing the audiobook version.
