"我们四处走动,不是为了寻找对方,但知道我们是为了找到对方而四处走动。"
— Julio Cortazar
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine two people who are meant to be together, like best friends or a couple. They go about their daily lives, doing their usual activities like shopping, working, or going for walks. They aren't actively looking for each other, meaning they aren't on a mission to find a new friend or partner. However, deep down inside, both of them have a feeling that they will meet someone special. This leads them to places and situations where they might bump into each other naturally. For example, think of two book lovers who often visit the same bookstore but at different times. Neither is expecting to meet anyone, but they are drawn to the bookstore because of their love for books. One day, their paths cross, and they start talking about their favorite authors. This chance encounter blossoms into a meaningful relationship. So, it's like they were unknowingly on a path to meet each other all along. The advice here is to trust that your actions and interests will guide you toward the right people and experiences, even if you don't force it to happen.
