Episode 4: The Paradox of True Love

Andre 2022-04-21 09:02:51

In the set trapped environment, the lovers of 988/1000 firmly chose each other, which is enough to prove that the two are in harmony, and even the "only" of each other. I believe they will be happy in reality without any accident.

But can they reap the love that is as strong as a test? very difficult. It seems like a paradox: two people who have experienced many obstacles are firmly together, proving that they are "true love"; but when "true love" is with the help of technology, it is simply together without the twists and turns, and it is difficult to cherish and strengthen each other. . So are they still "true love"?

Technology has always wanted to open up shortcuts for human beings, and they fit more and more perfectly with human behavior. However, the evolution of human physiological response is slow. Only by experiencing the process can we know ourselves, sharpen our emotions, and summarize the three views and methodology, and then we can have firm belief and action. Think of the ancient people, are we really better than them? What does the quality of our life depend on? Perhaps process is necessary anyway. No matter how advanced the technology is, human beings can't get real gains across the process. So the important thing may never be to find true love, but to learn how to love, to love bravely.
