After the fornication between teachers and students was revealed, Sheba went to see her little lover, Steven, but got such words, "We should be happy together, there shouldn't be such serious problems. And your messy mess. Things, your husband, your children... I don't know, I can't help you." So this just confirmed the warning of old lady Barbara before "No one is more cruel than these boys, when they are satisfied, they will Throwing you away like a rag." At this time, Sheba went to ask "Why are you so cold?" It seemed simple and childish.
To know that life, which never owes us, is an explanation. At this moment, Xiba must feel very hurt.
Sheba, as a middle-class housewife who is running around, tries to seek spiritual solace from a 15-year-old boy because of the frustrations in her life. This possibility is originally slim. When Sheba's old husband asked her why she did it, Sheba replied, I just need him. Yes, she needs to. She needed his youthful body to bring her joy, a temporary escape from the desperate realities of life. But she shouldn't expect pity, understanding, and care from a child. Maybe she fantasizes about having all of him, physically and mentally, but he just needs her hot little ass. Everything Steven did to Sheba did not go beyond the hormonal secretion of sensual pleasures and the respect a student had for a beautiful female teacher.
Sheba is someone who has been abandoned by life - the untimely death of her father, the indifference of her mother, and deep down she is an insecure and desperately love-hungry person. How desperately she longed to be in the company of a sympathetic soul, that she indiscriminately grabbed a little boy's reaching out hand.
That's why a few simple lies from a boy can completely collapse Sheba's psychological defenses, and that's why Sheba knows it's a southern wall and insists on hitting it - because on the surface, it's Sheba Wants to give the boy warmth, when in fact she longs for Steven's love. When she saw her youth pass pale in the family trivia of husband and child, and she was about to sink into the mediocrity of life, she was unwilling to pursue the excitement. In any case, youth itself is a deadly naked temptation. Sheba's husband put it this way "Do you think you are the only one who desires a youthful body?! Everyone wants it. But they control themselves". But maybe it's not that they are willing to control themselves, but they have to control themselves, because in terms of the universal values of this society, this is a mistake - middle-aged women fall in love with young men, teachers engage in students, this is a kind of identity dislocation .
However, I imagine that under the circumstance of zero pressure from public opinion, maybe such a "misunderstanding of love" originally caused by a scam can eventually develop into true love. Dzongsar Rinpoche once wrote in the preface to his book, "If you are completely honest with yourself, you will know that very few 'your' thoughts and feelings are really your own, but most of them are those of you. the result of uncontrollable influence". Therefore, we believe that the relationship between teachers and students is wrong, and the combination of old women and young boys is wrong, only because of the moral concept of the society we live in. In extremely rare cases, the parties, due to their weak strength, cannot fight against this concept, so they choose to suppress themselves or choose to be the bad guys who are accused by thousands of people.
So if everyone says yes, go ahead~ Sheba won't face jail time, and Steven is not in danger of being ordered out of school, then what reason is there for people like them to hold back?
