1
The world is sick for a surprisingly modest-sounding reason.
2
We don't understand love.
3
And yet we're rather convinced that we do.
4
We talk a lot of love, of course, but generally in terms of a dizzying rapture lasting a few months focused on someone's beauty,
5
intelligence and strength.
6
We have high ideals and refer with confidence to concepts like justice,
7
equality and rights and yet somehow in the mix we avoid talking of the sort of love
8
that would give true life to any of these.
9
We are law-abiding and righteous but we are in the grandest sense in the public square without love.
10
The most convincing definitions of love in the West have come from Jesus of Nazareth
11
which has proved unfortunate given how easy it is for rational
12
types to confuse an overcoming of supernatural faith with a neglect of the subject of love.
13
To move forward, we require a new philosophy of love, in effect a powerful secular religion of love.
14
This should be read out after the news and its tenets taught to CEOs and supply chain managers.
15
We should put it on t-shirts and it should be as common and more useful to say,
16
I'm trying to learn to love as to announce a desire to become fit or famous.
17
It's no insult to have to acknowledge that even though we inhabit a culture soaked in romanticism, we have problems understanding love.
18
And even though we've had plenty of crushes and heard plenty of songs about love,
19
we're still taking our first steps towards grasping what love might actually be.
20
Here then are seven key constituent ingredients of love.
21
Charity.
22
Love Love means, above anything else, benevolence and gentleness towards what is failed,
23
disgraced, broken, unappealing, angry and foul in other people and in ourselves.
24
Love isn't about an admiration for strength.
25
It's about directing sympathy in a most unexpected direction, at what is messed up, lost and in pieces, and at what we might hate,
26
resent and be frightened of.
27
Anyone can express an interest in perfection.
28
To love is to devote an active charity towards the mistakes and aberrations.
29
One day we will all require the charity of others.
30
In one way or another, we will be on our knees
31
and we will need people to look past our evident failings in a tender search for our deeply hidden merits.
32
To love with imagination is to look beneath the surface where there may be rage,
33
cynicism, brittleness or transgression, and to picture the suffering and pain that got a person to this place.
34
To love with imagination is to fill in the better reasons why others are behaving as they are.
35
Imaginative love knows that we are all somewhere desperate.
36
It seeks out that desperation and treats it with sorrowful gentleness.
37
Kindness.
38
There are so many fighters for social justice, so many people determined to make a better world.
39
They denounce their enemies and feel certain of their cause, but along the way, they have a fateful habit of forgetting to be kind.
40
In their denunciations of the evils of others, there is precious little mercy, humility, tenderness or grace.
41
It's not enough to be right or just.
42
To be kind is to know that everyone, even sinners – and in a way especially sinners – deserve ongoing sympathy and mercy.
43
It's never simply because someone is wrong that we have any right to cease showing them the greatest kindness.
44
Forgiveness To forgive is to know that we are, in our own way, as guilty as the next person.
45
Given what we all are, we have no option but to cut each other some slack.
46
Of course we have failed and been hasty and less than admirable.
47
But that is no reason forever to withhold love.
48
We learn to forgive when we are no longer self-righteous, That is, when we are brave enough to fathom the darker sections of our own hearts.
49
Loyalty.
50
To love means being loyal to people.
51
This could be ourselves, even though the crowd no longer agrees.
52
Outside, the mob may be jeering, but we continue on the same side, with steadfastness and an unbudgeable, resilient faith.
53
Generosity.
54
Love overflows.
55
It isn't about loving just one person.
56
It encompasses the love of someone you've just met, of strangers in another land, of the earth, of plants,
57
evils, house bats and that moth by the window who might be dead by nightfall.
58
Patience.
59
We want others to meet our hopes right now, but true love means giving people the time to mature and develop, to go wrong, to wander in another direction
60
and not to shout at them but to give them every chance to grow at their own pace towards their better selves.
61
If we can believe wholeheartedly in some of the above, it won't matter who we vote for or what our cause is,
62
we can count as part of what is helping.
63
We should be almost done with romantic love by now.
64
We should be setting our sights on the challenge of this sort of love.
65
Yet it's not surprising if we're still only at the beginning.
66
We're just starting on the path to being human.
67
Love is a skill that we can learn.
68

Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione
Chi parla usa 11 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come we're, isn't, don't. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.
- I suoni “th”: sympathy /ˈsɪm.pəθ.i/, fathom /ˈfæðəm/, withhold /wɪθˈhoʊld/
- I suoni “sh” e “zh”: aberration /ˌæb.əˈɹeɪ.ʃn̩/, denunciation /dɪˌnʌnsiˈeɪʃən/, transgression /trɑːnzˈɡrɛʃn/, desperation /ˌdɛspəˈɹeɪʃən/, admiration /ˌæd.məˈɹeɪ.ʃən/
- Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: admirable /ˈæd.məɹ.ə.bəl/, benevolence /bəˈnɛvələns/, cynicism /ˈsɪn.ɪˌsɪzəm/, denunciation /dɪˌnʌnsiˈeɪʃən/, imaginative /ɪˈmæd͡ʒɪnətɪv/
I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:
- /h/ — va soffiata, non è muta: inhabit /ɪnˈhæbɪt/, wholeheartedly /ˌhoʊlˈhɑɹtədli/, withhold /wɪθˈhoʊld/, humility /hjuːˈmɪlɪti/, behave /bɪˈheɪv/
- Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: gentleness /ˈd͡ʒɛntl̩nəs/, righteous /ˈɹaɪt͡ʃəs/, kindness /ˈkaɪnd.nəs/, benevolence /bəˈnɛvələns/, denounce /diˈnaʊns/
- /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: aberration /ˌæb.əˈɹeɪ.ʃn̩/, admirable /ˈæd.məɹ.ə.bəl/, fathom /ˈfæðəm/, imaginative /ɪˈmæd͡ʒɪnətɪv/, inhabit /ɪnˈhæbɪt/

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
