As the old saying goes, �Love will find a way.� That has never been truer than in modern Saudi Arabia. In Saudi Arabia, almost all marriages are arranged by parents. And it�s extremely difficult for men and women to meet people they aren�t related to. So young people have turned to technology. Bluetooth, a high-tech wireless networking protocol, allows Saudi young people to find dates. Bluetooth named after an ancient king who helped with communication between tribes makes individuals access information about strangers. Because of the way Bluetooth is designed, however, there is little the government can do to stop its use.
From this sentence;
[1] That has never been truer than in modern Saudi Arabia.
[2] That has never been truer than That is never true in modern Saudi Arabia.
Do [1] and [2] have the same meaning?
If not, what does [1] mean exactly?
And another question;
Love will fine a way. -->What is the meaning of this saying? |

I don't understand your number [2] at all.
"Love will find a way." Means that love will conquer the difficulties and find a way to get people together. In this example, the writer thinks modern Saudi Arabia is a very good example of this, because young people are using technology to meet each other. Therefore, the situation in Saudi Arabia matches the saying, "Love will find a way." |
