(2) Losing Love
After a living person has solved the most fundamental food and clothing, he cannot germinate, grow, and die like a plant. Human photosynthesis has to rely on a kind of Spiritual things, it should be love. What kind of love is the most suitable for human growth, I don't know. But after reviewing "Love in Prague" more than ten years later, I seem to understand something, but it seems illogical to say it, that is: when you get your happiest love, that is the day you die. Isn't it, when Dr. Thomas and his wife are truly immersed in a perfect love life, they must have no time to see the road ahead facing a cliff, and death has become the most perfect ending of a perfect love. In fact, Goethe made a similar interpretation a long time ago. When Faust went through all kinds of glory and wealth, realized all kinds of dreams, and finally wanted to stop the happiness in front of him, he said: "It's so beautiful, I really want to Let it stay for a while." Immediately, the hand of the god of death gently brushed his cheek, and his heart calmly walked towards the road of no return.
This is also like the first love of a close friend of mine. When he lived ignorantly to the age of 18, suddenly one day he found that he had never been in love, so he began to look at the girls around him, so he also used the most unlikely way to achieve results. He started his first love at the time when he should not be in a relationship, a girl with a strange appearance, a melancholy woman who sat at the table in front of him in the purgatory of the failed students, with short hair, round face, With single eyelids and a petite figure with a plump taste, she was like a magnet for my poor friend the morning after school started. In the next eleven months, my friend began to live in a dream state, he did not do anything that might be too close to her and aroused her disgust, he had only one emotional exchange with her, which was the last time, and It is one-way, his ambiguous letter: the beginning of the letter has the taste of expressing feelings, but the end is "I hope you will do it yourself in the future life". The result is self-evident, he did not get any reply, and he fell into the mortal cycle from then on. That relationship became the happiness he most wanted to keep in this life. I think, not because he never found any love that moved him, but because that unrequited love was doomed to have no results from the beginning, and the pursuit of results is often the first step for people to tragic life or the trap of fate.
So, I inadvertently came to a conclusion that I didn't quite believe. Everyone is always in a process of searching for love in his life, and the end point always points to death, whether it is found or not. Happy people are like Thomas, who can keep wading in the water to find them, and then go ashore; but most of us do not have the courage, and we are afraid that we will be doomed once we enter the water. Therefore, in Chinese tradition, there is a Enduring virtue. I want to write this conclusion after the third "so": Chinese people have lost love forever.
