Todos sabemos, de alguna manera, que el amor es una de las fuerzas más poderosas del universo. Es, a través de él, que podemos alcanzar la armonía interna así como con los demás. Es un valor extensamente promovido a lo largo del tiempo y alrededor del mundo, pero pocas veces comprendido en su totalidad, sobre todo el amor de pareja.En El amor tiene segundas partes encontrarás una historia que te hará reflexionar sobre las pruebas que pone la vida y cómo es necesario, desde el amor, crecer y aprender de lo vivido. También te hará pensar sobre qué significa amarse a uno mismo y todo lo que podemos dar al prójimo y al universo desde ese lugar.

Quelle joie de quitter l'enfance et de se lancer dans la vie avec confiance et optimisme ! Pour réussir, il ne suffit pas d'avoir eu les bons enseignements, les bons guides, les bons exemples relationnels entre humains. Il faut aussi avoir le courage de se remettre en question, de s'ouvrir aux autres, de chercher le bonheur, le partage, l'altruisme. Quand on donne, on ne doit pas attendre un retour au moins équivalent, mais se réjouir du bien que l'on fasse. Dans mon parcours, j'ai heureusement rencontré des personnes qui m'ont soutenu, conseillé, inspiré, et qui m'ont aidé à surmonter les difficultés. Bien sûr, j'ai aussi fait des erreurs, mais je les ai assumées et j'en ai tiré des leçons. Je n'ai pas laissé les "conseillers bienveillants" qui se sont révélés être des hypocrites ou des jaloux me décourager ou me faire douter de moi-même. Je n'ai pas non plus oublié ceux qui ont été entraînés dans leur chute et qui ont besoin de soutien. Je pense que la vie est une expérience enrichissante et passionnante, et que nous avons tous quelque chose à apporter au monde. Je vais faire une description sommaire de mon existence depuis mes quatre ans, jusqu'à la période présente soit "mes" 68 ans, je précise que je ne suis pas un "écrivain" aguerri, je me limite à écrire très souvent mes "états d'âme" !
