Love is impossible
–
Tec de Monterrey, Punto Blanco
Forget about finding a soulmate and accept that you are not going to find your ideal partner, since they don’t exist. Love is untimely, indescribable and is inextricably linked to anguish. In short, love is impossible. Using accessible and direct language, Darío Sztajnszrajber(Argentina) has brought philosophy to large audiences. In the eight theses of El amor es imposible, he dismantles the myth of normative romantic love. The philosopher questions ideas such as the perfect partner and invites us to rethink the notion of heartbreak as part of the desire for the impossible.

The Spanish philosopher Santiago Beruetesuggests we look to the plant world to seek the light and thus learn how to think and act in a healthy, sustainable and beneficial way. Returning to nature, through the spirituality and philosophy of the garden. Returning to green, the colour of hope.
