Quote by Sarah Bartlett
We have been cut off from our souls in the West, and because romantic love has become our religion, we think we can find fulfillment through this extraordinary and powerful force that draws us into an illusion of permanence. Passion makes us feel alive, makes us sing, makes us feel in touch with something powerful and wonderful, just as it would if we followed this meaning in life in a more spiritual practice. In the West it is often through such relationships, through another human being, that we search desperately for something, not knowing it is to be found within ourselves.
Summary
This quote suggests that in Western society, people have become disconnected from their inner selves and turned to romantic love as a means of finding fulfillment. Love is elevated to a religious level, offering the illusion of permanence and intense passion. However, this pursuit of love is compared to a spiritual practice, where one can also find a sense of connection to something greater. The quote suggests that in the Western context, people often seek desperately for something through relationships, unaware that the true fulfillment lies within themselves.
