Author zeruya shalev (58) would like to see better preparation of schoolchildren for life’s disappointments. "Love should be a school subject," shalev told "suddeutsche zeitung".
The author of the novel trilogy "love life," "man and woman" and "late family" also explained why: "children must learn how to talk to each other, they must be prepared for exchanges and must not be afraid of being hurt sometimes. That was as important as mathematics."
"It’s only when you leave behind all the exchanges that come up in the course of love that a relationship has a real chance," said the mother of several children, who is married for the third time. Too much is expected of men in general. They always wanted to be strong and hide their feelings. "Of course, no one can meet these expectations," shalev told the newspaper. Women also de-exchanged: "nevertheless, it is harder to be a man."Women had it easier because they talked about embarrassments as well as their weaknesses and stupidities.
