感觉爱...feeling alive...

深夜。

车窗外蒙蒙的细雨将周遭染成了一片幽幽梦境。此景、此情,仿佛正在酝酿着一首优美的情歌。情歌里的爱天真无邪、晶莹剔透,完全没有心机,唯有的是一味单纯的神交,贪得无厌的只为了想把彼此的一生经历翻阅一遍。

心跳加速、呼吸局促,心中压抑着的汹涌澎湃,似乎决堤了。

"It's weird...it's only been 2 weeks," she said. "But it seems like we've known each other for eternity..."

"Heh...ya, I've told you more things than I've told anybody in my life," he said. "You exude a kind of charm that easily disarms people, at least me..."

He has always tried to do the right things, not necessarily the things he truly wanted, and sometimes he does not even know what he really wants. Not that he does not have desires, but more often than not, they are always subordinated to the greater cause, greater cause such as the happiness of the people around him: his parents, his brothers, his friends...others...

There was also a time he fought for a love he thought was eternity and was prepared to go against the world he had known all his life. It was the happiest time of his life and he was certain he had found eternity...

天下无不散之宴席。

Eternity ended...

...and was it worth it?

问世间情是何物、直叫人生死相许。

爱。简单一个字,却是百感交集,千头万绪,是天下多情种最美的地狱。感受着它,吮吸着它,好比是种最强烈的兴奋剂,教人醉生梦死,就算永世万劫不复,也都 值得。感觉着爱,浑身神经豁然振奋,似乎以双倍的能量活了过来,仿佛没有做不到的事,IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING...依稀记得当年A Levels Prelims 她坐在自己身后的感觉...

Do you believe one can simultaneously be in love with more than one person with the same intensity? While appearing frivolous on the surface, this is one very interesting concept that was actually dealt with in 金庸's 天龙八部, where Prince Duan's very many frivolous affairs left with him many daughters and jealous/vengeful mothers. While not knowing the author's original intent, what I saw was a man who was truly in love with each and every one of his lovers. Every time he loved, he really gave a part of himself... Near the end when Duan was threatened with death, all his lovers finally saw that his love was true and chose to follow him in death...

Does true love necessarily mean monogamous relationships? Maybe...if you think that true love is truly exclusive, like a binary control that switches either to ON for THE ONE and OFF to the rest of the world. Like a funnel that channels all capacity for love into a little room within your heart, which will only open up when you are with THE ONE. Other than that, you will be a living husk of a human being devoid of the capacity to love...

But...is this one-size-fits-all rule applicable to the entire human race? Men differ in their capacities to and for love, so do we then deny the intensity of the loves of some of these people simply because they fall in love easily, even when those loves are truly and deeply and madly... Maybe the answer will be more apparent if there exists a pair of lenses that can distill loves from the many lusts that plagued most relationships...

晨曦。

朝阳渐渐将夜的幽寂驱散。此刻,仿如犹在人间仙境之间,还未还阳。她睡眼惺忪,强忍着倦意,嘻笑一番后言道:“OK goodnight.”闭目便睡,稚气盈盈,很是可爱。男孩看着她,眼里并不是国色天香,而是一股聚聪颖与果敢,集成熟与稚气的魅力与美丽。

Yes...so how did you feel about the article? Yes you, it's about you...:)
