I’m listening to “The Art of Seduction” audiobook by Robert Greene and while it’s all very illuminating and fascinating to hear stories about how historical figures used to seduce and to be seduced - and the things people did for love and affection - I can’t help but wonder, if and to what extent these things happen nowadays? Almost always grandiose, passionate, and often - desperate - attempts to win someone’s love? Or have we numbed ourselves to the point where most people aren’t even capable of feeling such intense emotions, let alone to acknowledge or express them?
