“Modern Orientalism embodies a systematic discipline of accumulation. Far from this being exclusively an intellectual or theoretical feature, it made Orientalism tend fatally towards the systematic accumulation of human beings and territories. To reconstruct a dead or lost Oriental language meant ultimately to reconstruct a dead or neglected Orient; it also meant that reconstructive precision, science, even imagination could prepare the way for what armies, administrators, and bureaucracies would later do on the ground.”
― Edward W. Said, Orientalism

“I鈥檓 not laughing.鈥� I was actually crying. 鈥淎nd please don鈥檛 laugh at me now, but I think the reason it鈥檚 so hard for me to get over this guy is because I seriously believed David was my soul mate. 鈥滺e probably was. Your problem is you don鈥檛 understand what that word means. People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that鈥檚 what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that鈥檚 holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you鈥檒l ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then they leave. And thank God for it. Your problem is, you just can鈥檛 let this one go. It鈥檚 over, Groceries. David鈥檚 purpose was to shake you up, drive you out of your marriage that you needed to leave, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light could get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you had to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master and beat it. That was his job, and he did great, but now it鈥檚 over. Problem is, you can鈥檛 accept that his relationship had a real short shelf life. You鈥檙e like a dog at the dump, baby 鈥� you鈥檙e just lickin鈥� at the empty tin can, trying to get more nutrition out of it. And if you鈥檙e not careful, that can鈥檚 gonna get stuck on your snout forever and make your life miserable. So drop it.鈥淏ut I love him.鈥�
鈥淪o love him.鈥� 鈥淏ut I miss him.鈥� 鈥淪o miss him. Send him some love and light every time you think about him, then drop it. You鈥檙e just afraid to let go of the last bits of David because then you鈥檒l be really alone, and Liz Gilbert is scared to death of what will happen if she鈥檚 really alone. But here鈥檚 what you gotta understand, Groceries. If you clear out all that space in your mind that you鈥檙e using right now to obsess about this guy, you鈥檒l have a vacuum there, an open spot 鈥� a doorway. And guess what the universe will do with the doorway? It will rush in 鈥� God will rush in 鈥� and fill you with more love than you ever dreamed. So stop using David to block that door. Let it go.”
