true love contains freedom

Miss Walker's falling in love with Liszt was a very wise choice. (Emotions all contain some kind of judgment. For example, A loves B, which means that A thinks B is someone worthy of being accepted into his life.) Because Liszt is the one who really respected her in Miss Walker's life, maybe the only one who respected her. people.

When Liszt went to Walker's house for the first time, he talked about Dr. Kenny and said to Walker, "What doctor to choose is your decision, and only your decision.

Perhaps this was the first time Walker had heard someone tell her in such a firm tone that it was her decision to live her life.

Importantly, Liszt said this not to transfer Walker from the control of his relatives and friends to his own control, nor to exert influence on Walker to dominate and manipulate Walker's life.

Nowhere is this more eloquent than in episode 4, when Reverend Ainsworth appears and proposes to Walker, Lister asks Walker to advance his decision on whether to accept his proposal. "You are going to have to make a decision... Instead of giving me your yes or no on the third of April, I'd like it first thing Monday morning." Then Walker asked Lister: "Do you think I should marry him?" Ask others what they think of such a big thing, and because it's an important life event, you must ask others what they think.

If at this time Liszt used her wit and eloquence to exert influence on Walker in her favor, she would naturally be in an extremely advantageous position. But she didn't. She said: "That! Only you can decide something like that." Although Liszt was facing a difficult situation at this time, facing the possibility of losing Walker painfully, she still respected Walker's own will and choice, telling Walker this It's your decision, and only you can make that decision.

When I revisited the scene of Liszt and Walker getting along in the show, I found the plot to be very charming. True love must involve equal respect for the other. Respect means giving her freedom and asking her to make decisions.

I don't use my influence over you to manipulate you, I don't use my wit to influence you, I don't control you to get you. I let you decide. If you've never made a decision of your own will, start making it this time. Because only love that can be rejected is precious when it is obtained. Only relationships that can be abandoned are valuable when they are maintained. Only when we face the risk and harm of rejection and abandonment can we say that we truly give, and the love we give to each other at this time can be said to be giving something very precious of ourselves.

Therefore, after many storms, Miss Walker fled to Scotland, and both of them once thought that their relationship with each other was hopeless... After all this, Miss Walker came back. She ends up with Liszt, and that's when the real decision goes beyond a moment of dizziness and passion. I think Liszt deserves this treatment because she gives the other the freedom to give up. This is love. Not so much even in today's world. Instead of a momentary rapture and a fleeting infatuation, Liszt wanted not only a formal commitment, a solemn contract, but a truly profound love.

Because true love includes freedom.
