“Desire is rooted in the unexpected and the unknown.”
— Esther Perel
Simplified Meaning:
When we want something, that desire often comes from surprises and things we don't fully understand yet. Think about finding a new hobby like hiking. You didn't know much about it before, but after trying it unexpectedly, you start to really enjoy it and want to do it more. This feeling comes because you discovered something new and exciting that you weren’t expecting. Similarly, when we come across new experiences or learn new things, it sparks our interest and makes us want to explore more. So, to keep life interesting and to grow, it's helpful to be open to new adventures and be curious about what you don’t know yet. This approach can lead to wonderful and meaningful desires in life.
