Do It For Love

    “You have to understand that love never keeps a man from pursuing his personal legend. If he abandons that pursuit it’s because it wasn’t true love...the love that speaks the Language of The World” I very much agree with this quote from The Alchemist(pg )

    I believe with what it’s saying. Love should never keep you from pursuing your dreams or personal legends in life. Like for instance, since I love my parents and my parents love me I should be able to pursue my personal legends and dreams. Because if it’s something I really want to achieve then they’ll no and they’ll let me go and achieve it.  I’m sure it would be really hard for my parents since I’ve been with them my whole life, and I’m just there “little girl”. But they love me and want what’s best for me. As the saying goes, “ If you really love someone set them free.”

    Having said that I’m not quite sure I’d be able to do the same. Of course I would want to let someone I love fulfill his/her personal legend, but just the thought of them leaving me is terrifying. It’s hard to imagine not being able to talk to them or just hang out with them. Especially since their personal legend could take months even years to fulfill! l But I wouldn’t want to be a hypocrite and believe that someone that loves me could let me fulfill my dreams and personal legends but I couldn’t do the same. Like the quote says if it’s true love I’ll let them go. I don’t believe there is limitations to this statement because if it’s true love than  its true love. If there was limitations to this statement then it wouldn't be true, or the love just wasn’t true.That’s why I agree with this quote from the Alchemist
