One of the immortal scenes in the Friends series
When Ross was confused to choose between Julie and Rachel, his friends suggested that he write a list of the advantages and disadvantages of each one of them and then he could resolve the issue.
The list began with flaws, and it was about “Rachel.” He said that her flaws were: that she was a bit spoiled and that her behavior was reckless, and that he and “Julie” had common interests because they were both specialists in paleontology, but Rachel was just a waitress in the café. .
The list was finished and they went into Julie's faults. His friend asked him what faults she had? On the surface, there were no flaws in it, but Ross had another answer that surprised them.
Ross replied and said only one sentence: Her only flaw is that she is not Rachel
This sentence contains all the meanings of love. We can meet people who are similar to us, who have common interests, who are in the same field of study and work, but we do not get along with them, while we love without logic or justification another person who is very far from our interests.
“Julie” here was the typical girl for someone like Ross. This is what it appears on the surface, and this is what people say, but the truth is that he chose Rachel, with all her flaws, before her advantages.
Surely we will find faults in the one we love, just as we have faults, but the idea is whether we will be able to accept these faults and adapt to them. Ross was this person, and Rachel’s love...
Umm Kulthum used to say: If I could love someone else, I would love you.
A man may search for love in every girl or woman he meets, and he will find the beautiful, the calm, the confident, and the reckless, but he will never find the one who has settled in his heart with all her faults and shortcomings.
All the women I have met in my life were beautiful, perfect and fit, but they were not you.
She is not Rachel
