Life is different for everyone.  Even if we have different lifestyles, everybody has strong aspirations when it comes to love. As there are many faces of people in the world, so too are there many different kinds of love. Every kind of love is beautiful and noble if we can discover ourselves through our journey looking for love. However, the search for love is a difficult journey. In spite of that, we should not give up. Only love can complete our lives.

One day, my teacher recommended that I watch a film entitled “The Nun’s Story.” It was directed by Fred Zinnemann and it starred Audrey Hepburn and Peter Finch. It was based on the 1956 novel of the same title by Kathryn Hulme.  The story is about a woman named Gabriel who enjoys studying medicine because her father is a rich doctor but she would later enter the convent. She has ended her relationship with her boyfriend and she wants to find true love.
