00:00Why do you smile to people unnecessarily?
00:03Because you know they are looking for the smile.
00:06And you very well know the smile would be decoded as friendliness, benevolence, right?
00:14The thing is not only do you know that, even the other person knows that.
00:20He knows that if he exhibits a smile, you will take that as a proof of his friendliness.
00:26So he will exhibit the smile.
00:29Devoid of signs and signals.
00:32What is love for us?
00:33What is sincerity for us?
00:35If love were to display no predictable signals, how would you detect love?
00:44That's the challenge.
00:46If sincerity were not to look sincere, how would you detect sincerity?
00:53What if sincerity looks very insincere?
00:59You are stuck.
01:01Not stuck.
01:03Pulled.
01:05And that's how life really is.
01:08The perfect lover is bound to look quite unloving.
01:13Great sincerity is unlikely to show any signs of sincerity.
01:21And where you see abundant proof of love, it is most likely.
01:27It's a thing put on.
01:29It's a display.
01:30It's a presentation.
01:31I'm going to go to the next episode.
