Found out i can't do it from my phone right.



Meh.
I don't like this quote very much.
Seems specious and silly at best.

I mean "finding the person who loves you for who you are at heart..."
All of that takes time. Sometimes a lifetime.
You can't just "find" someone who walks by and goes "wow! I completely know you for you and know exactly who you are at heart!"

And if you are around someone long enough for them to develop love and figure out who you are at heart...you didn't really just "find" them...you (both) worked really hard to develop a relationship and communicate with each other.


At best this entire quote is either saying "It's okay for you to be lazy. All you need to do is 'find' someone, it just takes a while, but you get all these great benefits," or, "it's actually better to be superficial. The more superficial/shallow/hollow you are, the more easy it will be for anyone to know who you are at heart quickly, so you could just 'find' someone."


With relationships you don't "find" anything unless you have absolutely no insight or ability to think beyond the moment so can't see everything you, or they, have done to develop that relationship, so you aren't capable of seeing your history as anything more complex than just "finding" it, or (if you tell people you "found" it/them) you don't value your relationship with the person you are speaking to enough to talk about the complexities and effort you put into your relationship, possibly because you want to posture about how great your relationship was with minimum effort.
