"My Sassy Girl" impression

In the past two days, I revisited two Korean romantic comedies "My Sassy Girl" and "My Little Bride": fireworks rising in the sky in the middle of the night, letters and promises buried under evergreen trees, elegant piano sounds The tacit understanding with romantic roses, childhood sweethearts, quarrels, cares and hugs...very beautiful and warm. I can appreciate and rejoice in this warm love, but I do not sadly see the prospect that I seem to be doomed to "a lifetime of solitude": regardless of the constraints of external conditions, my The forged soul has neither adapted nor wanted to go to that kind of romantic or peaceful love that confided in each other.

The soul rests more in inner indulgence and in the search for redemption, truth and freedom, all I need is a small amount of Eros. This eroticism has more to do with the yearning for youth and physical beauty than it has to do with longevity and soul-mate-although in order to make "lust" a "lust", permanence and soul also It must be present or present, but not so intensely that eroticism is directed towards objects that have lost their physical beauty. I don't expect Eros and lonely souls to come together, or stay together for long.

A lack of self in this broken era, the road of such a lonely life should also be dignified and beautiful. The self is obsessed with the purification of the soul and the pursuit of the Lord's redemption, and the pursuit of knowledge and quality. If you occasionally or temporarily live in a bay in the vast sea of ​​people, it is already a very beautiful life. If it is lacking, then it is precisely the fear of higher love: the self in this lonely life is already very autonomous and closed, completely excluding the deep, involuntary higher Love. In that kind of love that is completely open to the other, the ego becomes vulnerable, willing to commit, not even afraid of being hurt.
