“You complete me.”
You may recall this iconic line from Jerry Maguire (1996), when Tom Cruise says it to Renee Zellweger. Second only to “you had me at hello” from that movie.
That was its romantic side: one person completing another, emotionally and spiritually.
This same iconic line returned with an impact when Joker (Heath Ledger) said it to Batman (Christian Bale) in The Dark Knight (2008) – in a completely opposite setting. A villain to a hero. A devil to a savior.
And so it is. In one way or the other: your best human and your worst enemy, both complete you. Equally. Your pain and your comfort. Your dreams and your nightmares. Your misery and your happiness. Your love and your hate.
The one who hugs you, and the one who pushes you over.
The one who holds you, and the one who lets you go.
Both complete you.
