If a professor or teacher suggests that body shaming your partner is a good idea, should you just believe them?
While Ovid's writings suggest this, maybe he wasn't completely serious about all 38 of his remedies for love.It’s no secret that love is blind. The adage exists in every European language and it’s been around forever. Plato said it. Cicero said it. And the Middle Ages gave it a memorable spin by turning it into a little verse:Source: National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne/Used with permission.
Because dispelling our illusions doesn’t have to mean going from one extreme to the other. That's a mistake. Unblinding our eyes to flaws doesn’t have to mean exaggerating those flaws and demonizing the other person. So it’s worth asking ourselves how seriously Ovid means this . Maybe Ovid really means it, and he really does think bullying and bodyBut maybe he doesn't. And if he doesn't, could it be that he's actually trolling Lucretius and other such life coaches and gurus and all their kooky bro-science approach to love?Sticking up for yourself is no easy task. But there are concrete skills you can use to hone your assertiveness and advocate for yourself.
