About the Book
In a world marked by the ebb and flow of time, where love is both the sweetest solace and the bitterest truth, Dr. Christopher Ryan Maboloc returns with the seventh volume of his profound exploration, The Harshest Things You'll Ever Learn About Love. Four years have passed since the last printed edition, a period overshadowed by the unrelenting grasp of the pandemic. Yet, as life goes on, so does our quest for understanding and embracing love in all its complexities. Dr. Maboloc's words, both old and new, beckon us to ponder the enigma of love and life itself. In this latest volume, perhaps the concluding chapter of his love series, Prof. Maboloc weaves together insights drawn from his personal journey. He reflects on the passage of time, the comings and goings of people, the victories and regrets that shape our existence. Through his words, he celebrates life's profound beauty while fearlessly posing the toughest questions about love. The Harshest Things You'll Ever Learn About Love, Volume 7 invites us to contemplate the essence of love itself. It reminds us that love is not a competition, nor is it about winning or losing. Instead, it is a testament to the human spirit's enduring pursuit of connection, even in the face of adversity. As you embark on this literary journey, you'll find solace in the wisdom of Sir Ryan's aphorisms and reflections. His words inspire us to persist in our quest for love, despite its harshest lessons. Through his writings, we are reminded that love, in all its harshness and difficulty, is an experience worth seeking, cherishing, and embracing. It is a reminder that, in this fleeting life, the profound opportunity to love endures, regardless of our imperfections and the challenges that come our way.
