"برای اینکه موضوع تمایل باشی باید کمی از خود فاصله بگیری"
— Simone de Beauvoir
Simplified Meaning:
To make people want something, that thing, or person, needs to appear a bit unattainable. For example, think about a famous actor or singer. You admire them from afar because you don't see their everyday life with regular problems and mundane activities. This distance makes them seem more special and exciting. If you knew everything about them, including their bad habits or boring moments, they might not seem as interesting. For your own life, if you want others to value you more, sometimes it's good to not always be available. If you're always around, people might take you for granted. But, if you sometimes take a step back, people will see your worth more clearly and appreciate you more. This doesn't mean ignoring people, but finding a balance where you retain a bit of mystery and independence.
