"Shape from Shadows" - Only one person in your life?

I don't like to talk about relationships with "leftover women" very much, because these people usually have some special obsessions with relationships. A single friend of mine asked me a question the other day: "Are men now amorous, all day and night, can they still believe in love?"
Oh, the tricky question, a man who has no experience in love and is full of love Hopeful people, because of the cold world in their love life, their confidence is shattered, and they eventually become leftover women. What a damn thing. However, going back to the source, the logic of the problem is wrong, and the deviation of ideology directly leads to the distortion of the superstructure. Passionate is just an expression of love rather than a positioning factor. Amorous people are not necessarily insincere, but they have different requirements for love, which is what we often call "needs" - the need for love. Maslow's theory states that people's needs will be divided into five types, from low to high like a ladder, and they are: physiological needs, safety needs, emotional and belonging needs, respect needs, self-actualization needs. Because of different needs, the values ​​and actors will be different, so the form of love will also blossom, and each has its own merits.
I recommend this friend to watch "one day", a trailer and a love movie that scores full marks for the last 20 minutes. Some people say that it tells the story of a long-term spare tire of love. From the beginning to the end of the story, the female protagonist has always been the emotional station of the male protagonist during the period of frustration and depression. It is purely chicken soup for the soul during the empty window period; What it is about is the growth and redemption of a pure lover and a slutty man. The heroine in the story sacrificed all her love rights because of an emotional opportunity given by the hero, and our hero seems to be sure of the woman. The hero's infatuation is absolute, and he treats women like a stray horse. In the end, the heroine saves the male hero's depravity with the tolerance of love and the end of his life.
And when I watched "One Day", the biggest feeling was: In the world of love, those who really live happily are either people like the male protagonist who have experienced a lot, or people like the female protagonist who are persistent all their lives. Love can be vulgar, promiscuous, bizarre, or superb, it can be ruthless and unreasonable, it can be inexplicable and unreasonable, but as long as it is sincere, everything can be forgiven and accepted. I still remember the part in the movie where the male protagonist designed the female protagonist to dive naked, when the two were naked in the lake, the male protagonist said to the female protagonist: "...but you and me, it would be different, I think we'd want different things, and I don't think I'm ready, you know...". In fact, the male protagonist has always been aware of his need for love. In the film, the two experienced a lot of abuse and passing by, but they were able to come together in the end, not only because the male protagonist's love needs to return to its roots, but also because the female protagonist's persistent need for love is consistent.
I am very displeased with those views that often elevate love to ethics or responsibility. Love, being holy, must be flawless. But who told you that love is holy? Like eating and drinking, birth, old age, sickness and death, love is nothing but human nature and sexual freedom. It is an emotional need. It is a need. In the emotional world, like the existing world, there is no arbitrary success, only failure without management. Love, it is not marriage after all, the ultimate beauty is only the ambiguous heartbeat at the beginning and the mutual support at the end, and in the long process in the middle, you can choose to use the shackles of marriage to cast its special liking, or you can choose to let it go. It's whimsical freedom. When dealing with love, it is important to understand what you need, and to define your own needs in order to find the way of love that matches you. Don't let the grave become the epitaph of love, and don't demand that you be the only one in the long river of love.
A wise woman must know how to be loved and needed, just as a wise man must know how to love and be needed.

    What moved me was not such love, but Emma herself. This is her story alone. Beautiful women guide men and this flashy world.

    A movie that sells gimmicks, strung together every July 15th to form a story, and the focus is more on the structure. I thought it was mainly about ambiguity, but after reading it, I found out that it was mainly about sadness. There are too many points, and the choice is not good, and it is difficult to deeply emotionally.
