When
watching “Love your doing it wrong” one of the main things he was supposed to
be talking about was love. But he
started off his speech with defining love as the desire to be desired, which
opened up the question that got me thinking of how does one become desirable
and then stay desirable? It is true that
in today’s world you are free to value anything however you want too, and likewise
everybody can value you however they want too.
This seems like a major problem because every single person wants the
freedom to decide what they like, what they love, and what they don’t like and
hate, but nobody wants to allow another person to tell them they aren’t good
enough and aren’t worthy of their love; or for that matter anyone’s love. Yann Dall'Aglio
answers this problem by letting us know that people try to collect traits that
will make them desirable and loved and then ultimately happy, whether they do
this on purpose or not. The grant study
used a lot of information to show if the people in relationships were really
happy and why? I think that was a big
difference between it and what Yann was speaking on, because he was focusing a
lot on Love, but more on what it truly meant to be loved and to love others
unconditionally. The Grant study did
connect with “Love Your doing it wrong” when it did find that some people were
not happy and got divorced, and to me this was the same as Yaan confirming
people have the freedom to value or disvalue anyone or anything as they
please. Yaan really seemed to be speaking
on the uncertainty of whether or not the love for something or somebody will
always stay. This all hit home to me
because even though I really don’t like that people have the right to pick what
they like and why they like it I still respect that you can do that, because I personally
love being able to decide that I love someone or something on day and then in
two weeks just decide I don’t like it all.

I agree with you on how you said the Grant Study ties in with the "Love Your Doing it Wrong" video because Joshua Wolf Shenk says, "...that money does little to make us happier once our basic needs are met; that marriage and faith lead to happiness (or it could be that happy people are more likely to be married and spiritual)..." By that I think that means that money is one of the least that makes people happy when all of our other needs are successful adn when people have a significant other or are most likely to have one, tend to be more happy. Which is in comparison with Yann, when she says how people have to basically get a point of view from others on how they look or perceive themselves, just to make them feel good. Just saying that most people always need some to type of feedback about themselves, nwhich brings me to where I agree with you on the "...to value or disvalue anyone or anything as they please."
