Today Tim Keller came to Google NYC to talk about his book on marriage. I was so excited to VC it that I was in such a good mood. I even booked a room for my building and my coworker asked me if I was going. Of course! Or else why would I book a room for it? It was from 12 to 1, so I was thinking about doing as much as work I can so I can go to the talk. At 10 am, my coworker emails me her notes from the talk.
This was my reaction:
What? How did she take notes already? Nooooooo….It’s eastern standard time 12. Gahh
I was so disappointed that I missed it. Apparently people got to ask him questions through VC. Yeah…I was pretty sad. Oh well.
“The assumption is that there is someone just right for us to marry and that if we look closely enough we will find the right person. This overlooks a crucial aspect to marriage. It fails to appreciate the fact that we always marry the wrong person. We never know whom we marry; we just think we do. Or even if we first marry the right person, just give it a awhile and he or she will change. For marriage, being [the enormous thing it is] means we are not the same person after we have entered it.” — Stanley Hauerwa
