1
we tend to, at least I speak for myself,
2
act in an unreasonable way if I love someone.
3
That's because you're confusing love with care.
4
See, when people say, you are my friend,
5
you are my sister, you are my wife,
6
my girlfriend, you are supposed to care about me meaning you're supposed to sacrifice for me
7
you're supposed to show me attention and
8
if you need to do something unreasonable to demonstrate the so-called love that you have for me this attention,
9
this care this support
10
then so be it that's what I require of you but when they say that They require care, not love.
11
Because as you know, as we all know,
12
love doesn't make any demands.
13
And love doesn't ask for sacrifice.
14
And love would never want you to go into vice to prove itself to someone.
15
And love never asks you to prove anything to anyone.
16
Love never asks you to prove anything to it Or to yourself, to anyone
17
So what makes you think That it becomes more difficult When you love someone to act out of reason Because love,
18
quite the opposite Tells you,
19
do not sacrifice I don't ask it of you
20
If you sacrifice anything for anyone
21
Not because you wanted to
22
But to prove love But because they demand it Because they require it from you
23
Then you are in fact out of love You do not have me
24
That's what love tells you
25
So love makes it easier for you To not make sacrifices In the name of someone else Which goes against reason,
26
against justice Against truth Against what is right and proper And real And with everything else I'm just mentioning sacrifice But again,
27
all these other things.
28
Love does not ask you to prove.
29
Love does not ask you to judge anyone.
30
Love does not ask you to look down on anyone else or to look down on yourself.
31
Love does not ask you to idolize anyone or anything.
32
In fact, it says the opposite.
33
The more you concentrate me on someone,
34
the less you shall have me.
35
This is why all those people who adore certain people,
36
they're almost like worshiping them, right?
37
They're saying, I love this person,
38
and I will do everything for that person.
39
And that very much includes,
40
by the way, cheating, lying, deceiving, stealing, literally anything.
41
Anything that this person would require of them.
42
And more often than not,
43
in fact, I would say every single time,
44
those people who are loved the most are then hated the most.
45
Because you're idolizing someone or something that cannot be an idol.
46
It cannot be perfect.
47
It cannot be a god.
48
It will make a mistake.
49
And as soon as someone that you idolize makes a mistake,
50
they fall out of idolatry.
51
They become lesser than an idol.
52
And then you say, you stabbed me in the back.
53
You lied to me.
54
You pretended to be one thing.
55
And now it turns out you're not perfect.
56
You're not like you said you were,
57
or like you thought they were.
58
Whatever it may be.
59
Either way, you will get disappointed.
60
That's the point.
61
And so, love doesn't require any of those things that care requires.
62
And so, whenever we think,
63
though, we are in love, we are of care.
64
And so in fact, the very last thing we have when we care about someone in this way,
65
the very last thing is love that we have.
66
And so if you want to discuss how care makes it more difficult to be of reason, no problem.
67
That's very clear to you, right?
68
And you wouldn't even have that confusion.
69
You wouldn't even ask that question.
70
But that love makes it harder to be of reason.
71
No way.
72
It makes it easier.
73
In fact, love and reason are tightly related.
74
Because reason brings you to peace.
75
And love is peace.
76
You're not at peace when you're sacrificing.
77
You're not at peace when you're trying to prove something to someone.
78
You're not at peace when you're suffering to show anyone how important they are to you.
79
So love is not peace.
80
I mean care is not peace and love is not care
81
and love makes it easier to reason to be of reason and reason makes it easier to be of love
82
not harder does that make sense?
83
but certainly loving someone loving someone implies care how do we make that distinction?
84
loving someone does not require care loving someone requires that you don't care
85
so to love someone is to wish them well
86
okay and to wish someone well is this that they know the difference between right and wrong good and bad
87
vice and virtue awareness and unawareness All these highest,
88
most beautiful, most proper things for a human being.
89
That is love.
90
To wish these things onto someone else is love.
91
And this is how it is possible to love everyone.
92
You see?
93
You cannot romantically love everyone.
94
Impossible.
95
And you wouldn't want to.
96
but in this way to wish well to wish the greatest things
97
that human being can experience and be in the presence of onto someone else what is more loving than that
98
so to wish well is actually a much more loving thing to do
99
both in intensity as well as in quantity so now you are able to love
100
every single human being on earth and every single thing else.
101
Because even someone who you think is a criminal,
102
is a bad person is a liar,
103
cheater, deceiver, a cruel, violent person.
104
Even to them you would wish this, no?
105
That they know good from bad,
106
right from wrong, and vice from virtue and awareness from unawareness?
107
Who would you not wish them on to?
108
In fact, the so-called worse a person,
109
the more they are in need of this
110
and the more they would benefit from this and the more we all would benefit.
111
Because there is nothing more beneficial to an aware person than other unaware people becoming aware.
112
And so love in this sense is something that we can do for everyone and will want to do for everyone
113
and thereby we will exclude no one.
114
We will judge no one because all it is is to wish well.
115
It is not to apply a certain standard,
116
which is what care is.
117
Love does not apply a certain standard.
118
Love is simply a wish.
119
I wish you well.
120
Wherever you are, at whatever stage you are, I wish you well.
121
And so in that sense, I love you.
122
This is the best, most important,
123
most fundamental, highest, and most valuable thing you could say and wish on to, more importantly, anyone.
124
Whether this is your romantic partner or a complete stranger.
125
It is the best thing you can do for anyone, including yourself.
126
This is why so many people who are unable to love themselves
127
try to go and love someone else with the expectation that that will fix them too.
128
There's so many people out there,
129
you hear it all the time,
130
they say, I want to learn love.
131
Learn to love myself by loving someone else.
132
They think that if they pour love onto someone else,
133
this person is going to pour love onto them and thereby make them worthy of them loving themselves.
134
What a convoluted plan.
135
What a mess.
136
and then when they pour all this love onto someone with that expectation,
137
which is extremely cruel and selfish if you think about it,
138
and then this other person,
139
either they don't receive enough love from them or this is the problem.
140
No matter how much love this other person would give you,
141
so-called love, it would never be enough for you because you don't know how to love yourself.
142
And so then you're going to think there's something wrong with that person
143
because they're not able to give you enough love or the love that you deserve or the love that you're looking for.
144
And since a romantic partner is supposed to be your only partner,
145
I mean, in case you believe that,
146
well, you could never romantically be involved with the entire world at the same time,
147
that's for sure.
148
Then you say, oh, okay,
149
I just picked the wrong partner.
150
And then they move on to the next one and the next one and the next one and the next one.
151
And they can never do that with every single human being.
152
So they will never realize that it's not them and that what they're trying to give and receive,
153
it was never love.
154
And they will never know.
155
And they will never love.
156
But this is what love truly is.
157
And so the more you concentrate on someone The more you can be sure that it is care,
158
not love Because love cannot be concentrated As soon as you take love
159
And you try to squish it together So that it becomes concentrated Dense enough to give to one person
160
It will slip out of your hands and it will go away And you will be out of love Love will say,
161
I'm out You are forcing me into something that I am not And love will not let you do that
162
Care will let you do that
163
You can break pieces off of care And you can put them together
164
And you can do whatever you want You can shape it and give it to someone else
165
And then of course you're going to want to Them do the same thing in return for you.
166
And if they don't do it, uh-oh.
167
And even if they do do it,
168
they're going to have to do it again.
169
One time isn't enough.
170
And the next time better be bigger and better.
171
So on and so forth,
172
until it becomes impossible to show that much care.
173
Which was never right to begin with.
174
So when you truly understand what love is and when you truly love everyone,
175
that's when you can love someone.
176
That's why we always say around here,
177
I didn't invent this, but I certainly partake in it,
178
the idea that you cannot love anyone until you love everyone.
179
and this is what it means to love everyone
180
to wish everyone well so once you are able to wish everyone well you are able to love anyone
181
yourself or anyone else
182
the one and only thing that stands between you and the ability to wish everyone well is your anger is your hatred
183
is your resentment, is your bitterness,
184
your disappointment, your frustration, your pride.
185
All of the passions, all of the extreme emotions,
186
those are what stand in the way.
187
As soon as you let go of hatred,
188
of resentment, of anger, of pride,
189
of judgment, All these things which are emotions Passions As well as vices coincidentally Or not so coincidentally
190
As soon as you let go of them You are able to wish everyone well You see it so many times
191
You say Enemies Enemies Do not wish each other well Is there a more obvious thing to say than that?
192
Enemies cannot, do not, wish each other well.
193
Why?
194
Because they hate each other.
195
They resent each other.
196
And if they would let go of their anger,
197
they think that they would let the other person win.
198
And so they would rather suffer,
199
they would rather never know what love is,
200
including for themselves, and rather keep fighting and struggling and suffering and live a life of agony than to say,
201
anger is destroying me.
202
Anger is wrong.
203
And I wish that person well.
204
Because especially, like we said before,
205
if they're wrongdoers, if they're criminal,
206
so-called evil people, especially then I wish them well.
207
Because especially then, Are they in lack of all of those things that would benefit me also,
208
at least in a physical way?
209
If all the ignorant, dangerous people that you meet out when you're driving your car out in traffic,
210
if you wish them well and that wish came true,
211
that they finally understand right from wrong,
212
awareness from unawareness, it would be safer for you.
213
Never mind them.
214
But of course that's mixing the physical and the spiritual Again,
215
we don't want to get into that But you know what I mean,
216
it's just an example
217
And so this is what love is
218
So now tell me again that love makes it more difficult to be of reason

なぜこのビデオで話す練習をするべきなのか？
このビデオでは、「愛に苦しむことは愚かなことだ」というテーマが展開されており、英語を学ぶ上で非常に興味深い視点を提供しています。話し手は愛の定義やそれに伴う行動について議論しており、リスナーが感情を表現し、他者との関係について考えるきっかけを与えています。このようなシチュエーションにおけるコミュニケーションは、英語学習者にとって重要なスキルです。YouTubeで英語学習をする際には、実際の会話の中で使われる表現や語彙を学び、声に出して練習することが効果的です。特に、英語シャドーイングを通じて、話し手のリズムやイントネーションを真似ることで、より自然な英語を話せるようになります。
文法と表現の文脈
このビデオでは、以下のような重要な文法構造や表現が使われています：
- 愛とケアの違い - 「愛は要求しない」というフレーズからは、愛が無条件であることが強調されています。このような抽象的な概念を表現するために、「doesn't make any demands」や「does not ask you to prove」で使われる否定形は非常に効果的です。
- 条件文 - 「If you sacrifice anything for anyone」のような条件文は、相手の期待に応えることと自己犠牲の関係を説明するために用いられています。これにより、条件付きの愛についても深く理解できるでしょう。
- 強調するための構文 - 「love makes it easier for you」の構文では、愛がもたらすサポートを強調し、リスナーにその重要性を感じさせます。このような構文を使うことで、発言がより力強くなります。
一般的な発音の罠
ビデオの中で注意すべき発音のポイントは以下の通りです：
- 「sacrifice」 - この単語は、アクセントの位置が難しいため、正しく発音することが重要です。特に、最初の音節にアクセントを置くよう意識しましょう。
- 「idolize」 - この言葉も発音が若干難しいですが、正確に発音することで、意味が一層明確になります。
- イントネーション - 話し手の感情に合ったイントネーションを意識することで、単なる単語の羅列から、伝えたいメッセージをより効果的に伝えることができます。
これらのポイントを意識して、英語シャドーイングを行うことで、より自然な表現力を養いましょう。特に、shadowspeaksのテクニックを用いて反復練習を重ねることで、英語の理解が深まります。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
