Cowardly Love?

I wanted to blame the cowardice of the hero, Love, but I couldn't.

His lifelong struggle for love, his dying repentance, he said: Among all the mistakes I made, the biggest one was that I never chose love. My love is half to God and half to you, but it's really my own ambition. This sentence moved me.

How many people in the world declare their selfishness and arrogance righteous without a struggle. And he's carried this struggle with him from the start, even as he feels guilty for betraying Maggie when he chooses to inherit Mary's estate.

Love's love for Maggie is sincere, and he also does "his ability" to care and give. What if he chooses ambition, and finally finds out that career achievement is not the true meaning of life, but the subject of his life? And this will happen whether or not he meets Maggie?

No one is perfect, and in my opinion men tend to be wiser than women.

Is Love so cowardly? In love yes, he is afraid to love, he is far less courageous than Maggie

But there is also great courage in this cowardice. He did not completely surrender himself to the power of ambition. He kept the rose and the desire for love in his heart. He denies his manhood and hides himself as a priest to avoid feeling vulnerable and hurtful inside.

Yes, it seems to me that this is just a man who is afraid to love, afraid of getting hurt. Maybe he made that decision when he decided to be a pastor when he found out that his mother didn't love him.

But God, the cruel and merciful God, is not a God in any religion but a God beyond the understanding of the human mind, who never spared anyone, He wants your awakening, so He sent Maggie to Love's life , triggering Love's unstoppable longing for love. In the end he mustered up the courage to find Maggie, put down his priesthood and loved her as a man.

Yes, he still couldn't let go of his ambitions, he still chose to leave and go back to church. But it's not about Maggie, it's the only way he has to get lost and then wake up in his life.

Dan's death is the author's ingenious stroke, and his ego (ego) collapses when the egocentric Love discovers that the dead Dan is actually his own son. Regret eroded his self-esteem, and he finally looked back on his life, missing the woman who loved him, the chance to start a family, the time of his life with his son, for what? For fame and status. When he came to the end of his old age, fame and fortune were like clouds, and he finally saw his cowardice towards love in his life. And facing and admitting their own cowardice and mistakes, how much courage do you have to show? How many people may not be able to reach it in their entire lives.

And Maggie has already tolerated and forgiven such Love. This is also her life's growth and transformation.

Even though the thorn bird knows death and pain, it still does it. We as human beings decide to be brave enough to love and make mistakes even though we know we will be hurt and hurt.

Perhaps the ultimate reward, not love or achievement, but that ultimate awakening. And that's what God really wants.
