Let's have a love game!

When we were children, many of these esoteric philosophical questions were asked: "Why was I born?", "Why was I born here and not there?", "Why me?" … The moment of memory formation passes quickly, and the moment of becoming aware of oneself through constant feedback from the outside world will come back in the period of gradual contact with others. This time, they came with some fresh blood and more sophistication.

Every day, the farce that breaks through the moral concept is still being staged, not only in France, but also everywhere. But who of us can turn a moral question into a comedy like Rohmer? Childhood problems come and go, and they become transcendent moral problems that we have difficulty understanding and solving. We become helpless in the face of betrayal and deviation from mainstream beliefs. It is difficult for us to accept and deal with events beyond our experience.

Those questions have long been complicated beyond our experience: "Why am I, what am I?", "When am I going to die? What kind of scene will it be? What will I think before I die? Will it be? Afraid?", "How do those lovers guarantee their loyalty for life?", "Why do you have to get married after so many parting moments?", "Do I have to do all of these? What a boring life it would be, You can see the end at a glance!", "Why me, what's the meaning?"

When problems have arisen, we will always accept and endure them subconsciously. What do you think will happen when the same thing happens to us as Brasha and Leah? Bystanders will condemn, and the parties are indignant and unable to understand the "misguided" behavior. There are many reasons for this trend, one of which is the mainstream concept. We have learned, only learned, that partnership equals loyalty, that is, during this partnership, both parties must maintain loyalty, and the loyalty here is in the marriage relationship. Being transitioned and inherited "naturally", this kind of cognition has become the common cognition of all individuals in the current social field. We assume that all people love and marry on the premise of this kind of consensus. Experience is also validating and strengthening this consensus at the same time. Once an abnormal event occurs, the person who destroys the consensus will become the target of crusade.

Loyalty, however, is never something that can be permanently established in a relationship. Certainty exists, and it is accompanied by the attribute of time, as in the words of Married Life (Trüffaut 1970): "At eight I am in love with her, at nine I am disgusted." Like, we A consensus has been reached that all people must maintain perpetual tolerance while they are alive. The practice and perception of a certain trait (loyalty, tolerance, viciousness) forced to assume its perpetual continuance becomes laughable, even terrifying.

"In any case, God in himself is not merely an essence that exists necessarily or blindly . In other words, even though that self-imposed existence is always based on a necessary existence, the actual, actual existence of God is no longer merely a necessary existence.

Life consists precisely in the freedom to be able to sublate its own existence as an immediate existence posited independently of itself, and to transform it into a self posited existence. On the other hand, a dead thing in nature has no freedom, cannot change its own existence, how it exists, and always exists as it does—in its entire existence, its existence is not determined by itself. ” (Proceedings of the Schelling University of Munich)

When this mandatory consensus invades our lives, first of all, we do not allow physical immorality, and then we strictly guard against ideological deviance, and "consensus" thus becomes a weapon to suppress freedom, and I do not me again.

Of course, we also need to maintain these good characteristics, tolerance, kindness, loyalty... But we can't go against nature, we can't ignore the universal existence of uncertainty, maintaining sincerity and goodness is still our consensus, and in this consensus There is also a position of uncertainty, from which we can then reach a new consensus, which is free and sincere:

That is, when I say "love", I love you right now.

Boyfriends and Girlfriends quotes

  • Alexandre: If you must know, I like slender, rather tall girls.

    Lea: Blondes or brunettes?

    Alexandre: Brunettes. With smooth, light, slightly tanned skin. They really attract me. Especially when they have big eyes and silky lashes.

    Lea: Cut it out. You promised not to lay it on!

    Alexandre: I'm not laying it on! You asked what my type was! You're much closer than Adrienne to my ideal. You've always attracted me. But fate was against it.

    Lea: Fate! You control yours, don't be modest!

    Alexandre: You're wrong! I don't like to push. I'm no Romeo. The fact is, girls like me! It's given me bad habits. It can be a disadvantage. They seek me out, so I just relax. Means I don't always wind up with the best. If I like a girl, I'll meet her sooner or later... Better later then too soon. Take us... I'm glad I met you now, not 6 months ago. We're both available...

    Lea: Stop it! What's available mean? And I don't like your kind of guy. I like to be wooed!

    Alexandre: You were with Fabien!

    Lea: You should have been insanely jealous.

    Alexandre: Who says I wasn't?

    Lea: Actions talk! You should've done something wild!

    Alexandre: Let's run away. I'll kidnap you!

    Lea: That's not so wild. And I said no!

    Alexandre: I heard yes.

    Lea: It meant no.

    Alexandre: I'll think of something wilder... Come live with me! You've even got your bags! My place's too big for me alone.

    Lea: When you're alone!

    Alexandre: I'm alone now.

    Lea: I'm going to my folks'. They're expecting me.

    Alexandre: Call them back!

    Lea: They're asleep.

    Alexandre: So they're not waiting up!

    Lea: I might move in with you, but not now. We've known each other 6 months, so wait 6 more months. During that period, you mustn't date anyone else. Then maybe I'll let myself be wooed!

    Alexandre: I accept. But you mustn't date anyone, either.

    Lea: That suits me fine!

    Alexandre: 6 months is a bit long. How about 6 days?

  • Adrienne: It's funny, I can't see you a bureaucrat. That's what you are though. You should be in the arts. You never wanted to paint, or write?

    Blanche: I've no talent. Even if I did... I'm not sure I'd want to do it for a living. Art for me is pure pleasure. Contemplating... it is enough.

    Adrienne: I can understand that. It's just that... In your office, they're all bureaucrats, Real ones! It's a bad environment. All they think about is rank... climbing the ladder... spending their lives... stepping over people. They don't even think about work... much less love! I know what I'm talking about!
