"If this look is missing from a relationship - that is, the look of the heart - then there is nothing to "overwrite" the other person's mistakes. Then comes the wish list: Don't ash the carpet! Don't smoke cigarettes! Give me the coat! Be more attentive, more polite! Let's divide who does the dishes and who goes to pick up the children! Don't stare at the television all the time! Sometimes listen to what I tell you!...etc. The other person can do everything, if you don't love him, it's in vain, and if he doesn't love you, it's also in vain. If you don't see each other with the eyes of the heart - everything is in vain. All psychological tricks, service regulations, education, requests, begging, orders, adaptation (...), education, goodwill, efforts are unnecessary. Nothing can replace the essence. And the essence makes up for everything. You have been vacuuming the faded carpet for many years, annoyed and grumbling, but still - because you love it! When he dies, you think, "I wish he'd come back and smoke another cigarette and ash it and even burn the carpet! It would be my happiest moment!"

""Ha ez a tekintet hiányzik egy párkapcsolatból - vagyis a szív tekintete -, akkor nincs ami "felülírja" a másik hibáit. Akkor jön a kívánságlista: Ne hamuzd le a szőnyeget! Ne cigarettázz! Add rám a kabátot! Légy figyelmesebb, udvariasabb! Osszuk be, ki mosogat, ki megy a gyerekért! Ne bámuld állandóan a televíziót! Néha hallgasd meg, mit mondok neked!... stb. Mindent megtehet a másik, ha nem szereted, hiába, és ha ő nem szeret, akkor is hiába. Ha nem a szív szemével látjátok egymást - minden hiába. Fölösleges minden lélektani trükk, szolgálati szabályzat, nevelés, kérés, könyörgés, parancs, alkalmazkodás (...), műveltség, jóakarat, igyekezet. A lényeget semmi sem tudja pótolni. A lényeg pedig mindent pótol. Sok éven át porszívózod a lehamuzott szőnyeget, bosszúsan és morogva ugyan, de mégis - mert szereted! Ha meghal, azt gondolod: "Bárcsak visszajönne, és elszívna még egy cigarettát, és lehamuzná, sőt, kiégetné a szőnyeget! A legboldogabb pillanatom lenne!""
