It is! I'm not sure what I'd do if someone said otherwise. Now that that you mentioned it, as much as it inspires me, it also gives me hope. Maybe there's not a lot of them out there, but as long as there are people like Dr. Berrah, I have hope for a better future.gabrielletiemi wrote: ↑04 Feb 2021, 14:00 I found the author's compassion very inspiring. It's so rare to see someone who loves someone else with such altruism like this, I wish more people would love like that. Besides that, he lived an amazing life and took part in so many important historical events, even when those events didn't give him power, money, or anything like that. It's very altruistic, in my opinion.

It seemed more than "kindly" to me. It was constant praise and adoration. It was intoxicating, borderline overwhelming. It was already years since they met each other, years since they got married, and yet his feelings remain the same. It makes me sigh and wish the same thing for myself.Jenniferg_1105 wrote: ↑05 Feb 2021, 21:44 The way he talks so kindly about his wife when she leaves the room is admirable. He must truly mean what he says if he speaks so highly of her when she isn't even there to hear it. It would be wonderful to be married to a man that thought so highly of his wife.

When people love so much but still end up breaking up, I like to think that their love simply didn't match. We all have different needs, and sometimes, no matter how intense the love is, you have to let it go because it's not the right one for you. Or worse, they have a twisted view of love. What Dr. Berrah and Ms. Titi was really one of a kind.

I just feel like if he read this he'd go, "No, I'm the lucky one!"Kirsi_78 wrote: ↑03 Feb 2021, 00:58 I think his wife is a lucky woman! I also think that everyone who is married should love their companions with such compassion. Sadly, such a love is very rare. And I really do find it admirable and inspiring. To my opinion, it was one of the best things one can learn from this book.

Right? His love for his wife was exceptional, but his love for all of humanity was really something else. Although it frustrates me, he's a firm believer of dialogue, even during the times when you need the use of iron fists instead. Nonetheless, I wish I met him, a man of so much care and compassion for others. I think I'd feel safe in his presence.Catie139 wrote: ↑03 Feb 2021, 17:55 Not only was the love and compassion for his wife admirable. But his compassion extended to all the people with whom he came in contact. In just about everything he did (that he recounted) he had his fellow countrymen in mind. Nothing that he did seemed to be out of purely egotistical motives. He was always trying to help others, which shows a great deal of compassion.
