Unrequited love is always going to be the poor relative of the requited kind, but that is no reason to ignore or denigrate it. We're all fated to spend a part of our lives deeply enraptured by people who won't feel the same about us: this is a structural inevitability. We should learn, in our less distraught moments, to recognise and honour the claims of unrequited love. • Enjoying our Youtube videos?

It seems that we are – in aggregate at least – committed first and foremost to the unrequited version of love.” • You can read more on this and other subjects here: https://goo.gl/Y3KhCU • MORE SCHOOL OF LIFE • Watch more films on RELATIONSHIPS in our playlist: • http://bit.ly/TSOLrelationships • SOCIAL MEDIA • Feel free to follow us at the links below: • Facebook: / theschooloflifelondon • X: / theschooloflife • Instagram: / theschooloflifelondon • CREDITS • Produced in collaboration with: • • Mad Adam Films • http://madadamfilms.co.uk/index.html #TheSchoolOfLife
