Save yourself from disability and powerlessness

A glimpse of love is an inadvertent encounter on the way. Because we have never hoped for such a beautiful thing, we have never pursued it from the beginning, but if we really have it, this will really exacerbate the sense of incompleteness and powerlessness. Good to carry all this, powerless to no longer have the strength to maintain this possession that will be lost one day. What is love actually? A woman's face will age, and a man's strength will be weak. Face your own helplessness calmly, just like comforting the other party, accepting him (her), just like accepting himself in his (her) eyes.

George O'Hearn: Beautiful women are invisible.
David Kepesh: Invisible? What the hell does that mean? Invisible? They jump out at you. A beautiful woman, she stands out. She stands apart. You can't miss her.
George O'Hearn: But we never actually see the person. We see the beautiful shell. We're blocked by the beauty barrier. Yeah, we're so dazzled by the outside that we never make it inside.

David Kepesh: I think it was Betty Davis who said old age is not for sissies. But it was Tolstoy who said the biggest surprise in a man's life is old age. Old age sneaks up on you, and the next thing you know you're asking yourself, I'm asking myself, why can't an old man act his real age? How is it possible for me to still be involved in the carnal aspects of the human comedy? Because, in my head, nothing has changed.
