Our isolation

"Journey to the West" actually tells a sad story. A man fell in love with a woman, but was separated. In order to get his own woman back, he uses another woman. After achieving the goal, I found out that I fell in love with this one. But it was too late, everyone parted ways, and each went on their way in sorrow.

The problem with "Westward Journey" is that we don't know what we really want. Why is this so?

I think this is because, many times, we are in love with our minds rather than our hearts. The mind pays attention to logic, but it is later aware; the mind does not speak logic, but reacts quickly. There are many rules and concepts in the mind, but the heart has to embrace and tolerate everything. Therefore, we often think that we fall in love with someone, and after we have been together for a long time, we realize that we don’t love that much; or after we are confused with someone, we keep wanting to love or not, and it is very painful for ourselves to struggle. , Decided to free herself, but after breaking up, she found that she had fallen in love again. Our heart needs time to be understood by our brain. Misunderstandings and prejudices have blinded us. (It's not just the prejudice in the brain, the overwhelming emotions and excessive desires can often play the same role.)

In this way, within this time error, many misunderstandings and regrets have been caused.

From this perspective, the Tang Seng in "The Great Sage of Love" is much luckier than the Supreme Treasure (mostly because of his temperament, Tang Seng is much purer and less distracting, hehe). The obstacles for Tang Seng and Yue Meishan did not come from themselves, but from external forces. Therefore, Tang Seng said, the saddest thing in the world is not not not knowing that you are in love with someone, but because two people are clearly in love but cannot be together.

Whether it is due to external forces or ourselves, separating the lives of love and cutting off the tacit understanding and spirituality between hearts is a kind of isolation. Isolation means no communication, no longer perception, ignorance. Means the death of the heart.

Isolated. What a terrible thing.
