I just want to share the beauty with everyone, but the beauty is heavy.
Standing across from "Hercules at the Crossroads" came two women named Kagea and Arete.
Katya "has a plump and soft body, smeared on her face" and "wears the most youthful robe", Katya is blessed and sexy, and she looks like she knows how to enjoy life. Aretesheng is simple, beautiful, and has a clear temperament. "The decoration is pure, the eyes are modest, the demeanor is dignified, and she wears a white robe."
The Greek word Kagia means "evil, lewd" - pleasure.
The Greek word Arete means "virtue, good" "all the good things that the gods have bestowed on people, none of them can be obtained without hard work. With Arete, you can hear the best things in life in middle age. The voice of her, you can appreciate the most beautiful scenery in your life. Although the life she brings to you is heavy, it is very beautiful.
Although pleasure and beauty are both happiness, the texture is completely different.

No matter men or women, they will experience their Kagia and Aret. As for how to choose in the end, it is the same as choosing one's own soul or one's own body. There is no way to make it clear, and there is no way to give up on either side.
Just like the white roses and red roses written by Eileen Chang, if you choose any one, you will regret and regret.
See Tereza for the first time, like a genie, dive into the pool. Tomas's eyes followed, and from then on, he followed him for a lifetime.
Happiness can also be obtained through purely physical sensual pleasures, but good happiness can only be obtained through the body becoming the abode of the soul - and therefore the body will feel heavy and hard. Kagia's "happiness" alias is called "evil" because the body is only for the happiness of the body.
Tomas wasn't unhappy until he met Tereza, flirting with nurses, messing with female patients, and messing with Sebina. Of course, another key point in this play is Sebina, who represents pleasure. Rather than saying that she represents pleasure, it is better to say that she only loves her inner feelings. Anyway, housewives can't understand the artist's heart and way of thinking. Can't explain, can't say, understand is understand, don't understand, even if you say it, you won't understand.
Towards the end, Karenin, the dog they bought when they got married, developed cancer and they euthanized her. The scene of burying her is dragged far away. At that time, Tereza told Tomas that my love for my mother was forced, but my love for Karenin was voluntary, never jealous.
Her love for Karenin is the purest, she has no requirements or expectations, she just loves her well, and Karenin simply loves them. Maybe that's the difference between animals and people.
Epicurus said, "The animal need not seek what is lacking, nor what else can make the soul and the body good."

After graduating from university, I did an internship in Shenzhen. At that time, I watched Milan Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Life" brought by others in the dormitory. At the time, I thought the erotic descriptions in it were too scary, and my face was red when I saw it, but some of the words were very reasonable. And do not know that Milan. Kundera is a master. Ten years have passed, and many plots in the novel have been forgotten.
I was watching Liu Xiaofeng's "Heavy Body" recently, and I revisited this movie again. Seeing the scene where they met Sebina on the street and was about to flee to Switzerland, I suddenly remembered that I had seen this movie.
Yes, I saw this movie six years ago, when I was working alone in Guangzhou. At that time, I couldn't understand the meaning of it, I just thought that Tomas was so promiscuous, and anyone can come. Instead, Tereza couldn't stand it after experiencing so many derailments from Tomas. She wanted to try what it was like to have Tomas' body and soul separated. However, after a derailment, she couldn't forgive herself and wanted to commit suicide. Fortunately, Tomas came to save her.
I was very confident in my memory before, and I felt that as long as I read the book or movie I would never forget it. But that's not the case.
After this, Tomas and Tereza went to live in rural Europe, where they wanted to escape the Czech Republic, which was then occupied by the Soviet Union. Live a life that seems to be a happy life with hard work during the day.
I think Tomas actually loves Tereza in his heart, but he just can't control his body and behavior. He is more true to his heart.
Although he had sex with many women, he never took anyone home for the night. But he couldn't resist Tereza who came to his house to find her, took her in, asked his lover Sebina to help her find a job, and even married her, which was unexpected.
Unsurprisingly, despite being married, he still sleeps with anyone out there who likes him or who he likes. Still haven't broken up with Sebina.
Tereza couldn't bear to talk about his heart again and again and force himself to accept Tomas like this. Until she couldn't bear it, she could only run away.
She fled back to Prague from Switzerland. After the occupation, Prague was as broken and decayed as her heart. Returning to the hut he used to live in, he had no intention of tidying up the room, the green plants on the windowsill had withered, and he was lying on the bed with Karenin in his arms and reading a book.
Until there was a knock on the door, until Karenin ran out, until Tereza saw Tomas, as if man had been activated, reinfused with hope of life.
Tereza loved Tomas but couldn't indulge himself like he did, let alone tolerate Tomas' behavior. (In other words, it seems that it can't be tolerated by anyone else.)
The ending part is particularly beautiful, they are driving the car, although it is raining, but through the camera outside the wipers, outside the car window, Tereza kisses Tomas and says, you're thinking What?
Tomas smiled and said, I was thinking how happy I am.
Wish they could read the rest of their lives so happily, just like the end of the movie.

Forget what the end of the novel is, but the movie is about them on their way home, and on a rainy day, the truck brakes fail and Tomas and Tereza are killed in an accident.
The letter received by Sebina in the United States was conveyed through Sebina. However, I still have images of them drinking and dancing at the bar together.
Tereza danced cheerfully with the nephew of Beper, the witness, and Tomas looked at her affectionately from a distance. Until a change of music, Tereza and Tomas made eye contact. The initial greenness and ignorance were gone, and they were full of enthusiasm and challenges, and Tomas's eyes returned eagerly.
At this moment, their hearts should be the closest time.
Tomas dances with Tereza ready to go into their room, Tereza follows the music, her feet touch the ground, pause, lift, back and forward, then her feet lightly on Tomas's feet, they enter room six .
Suddenly recalling the beginning, Tereza said to Tomas, what a coincidence, I just got off work at six o'clock.
Then smile and run away...
