Title Without Love I am nothing!
Contents
It is said that humans cannot stand the tension of love for long. Is that so? Why is love often unhappy? Still, I think about how boring and boring life would be without love, without the flower of love. The famous love chapter of the Bible highlights 1 Corinthians 13. Without love I am nothing. Then someone might say something like this. Agape love and Eros love are clearly different. Human love and the love of the Word are different. I don't know. But will it? Really? Could it not be that the love of the Word that is not incarnated by human love is not empty?.
It should be seen as a religious movie. A British film called Breaking the Wave. The main character, Beth, is attractive. Beth speaks naturally as if possessed by a male elder who politely but habitually and bluntly prays for love. "You can't love the Word. You love people." Of course, Beth, who loved people, is sent to hell by men who can't love people because she loves the Word. So Beth's words leave a deeper echo. "You can't love the Word. You love people."
There was a lion who loved the farmer's daughter. Since it was a patriarchal society, the lion asked the farmer for a daughter. The farmer, not wanting to offend the Godzilla Beast, said: "When I see your big, sharp teeth, my daughter will be terrified. So why can't you pull out those teeth?" The lion, who was out of his mind for love, pulled out his teeth. Even if I had to eat corn porridge for the rest of my life, I wanted to live next to the one I love. Seeing a toothless lion, the farmer orders this time. "Your claws, where can you plant romance in the heart of a flowery virgin?" The lion, blind in love, had its claws plucked as well. What would have happened to the lion? The peasant did not take the lion as his son-in-law, but drove him out of the gate, who had lost his natural beast nature.
This is a story from Paradox Aesop's Fables. What this parable tells us is clear. If you are blinded by love, it is difficult to keep love. But what to do? If you think about it, 'blindness' must be the essence of love.
Many people say The meaning of life is love. It is a proposition that you may or may not agree with. Not because love is unimportant in life, but because even if love is the meaning of life, it cannot be an a priori demand or slogan. Maybe that's why, among the people who shout hard, let's love, let's love, there are not many people who want to love.
In Park Wan-seo's [The Widow], missionaries appear. The missionaries came to the Korean Peninsula, where most of them were poor and uneducated from the civilized United States. It's amazing when I come here. Hair is washed with iris once a year, clothes are changed four times a year in the spring, summer, fall, winter, and sanitation facilities are poor. It was so difficult for them to love these Korean people who were dirty, smelly and ignorant in their eyes. So every night I cry and pray to God. Let me love them. Let me love them. Isn't that prayer a confirmation that they are unlovable beings?
Love is not an a priori demand, much less a slogan that can be put into practice by words of good deeds. Nevertheless, why does love become a hot topic in life? Perhaps it is because there is something to be learned from the person you love. When you love, a person deepens. As the Bible says, knowledge builds up and love builds up.
saying a lot. Love doesn't make the receiver happy, but the giver is happy. It literally doesn't make sense. How many unhappy loves are there in the world? In my book 『I See Philosophy through Manga』, the manga Seo Hyun Joo [Forgetfulness] analyzed by me is the epitome of that unfortunate love. Men and women never tire of fighting. Why the hell do a cheerful woman and a healthy man fight so much? It's because of men's forgetfulness.
-I waited 5 hours. If you want to stop seeing each other now, you can be honest with me... A bewildered woman carefully intervenes between the words of a man who vomits out the anger of waiting like a pistol.
- Hey, can I just say a word? We never agreed to meet today.
A man who waits at any time sometimes waits for 5 hours, and a man who is good at losing appointments often hits a woman. Angry woman announces farewell. Now it's over.
But it's never been over. The most common thing men forget is breaking up with a woman.
because it's true
-Hey, I don't think I forgot even that. that we broke up with the date yesterday.
Sad that we broke up, the woman who has been strong all night is getting nervous and talking angrily. Then the man responds as if he doesn't know. When did we break up...
He is a man who often forgets, but there are things he does not forget. It's the fact that you love a woman. But, what kind of memory is it that will become such a cold wind, so why do men practice losing so much? One evening after dark, a man grumbles at a woman.
-Why are you so late? You've been waiting all day
-Did you forget again? We decided not to see each other again.
-Is this what you've been waiting for all day?...A promise like that, I, I don't remember!
-You damn forgetful... I died last month!...Everywhere we met...This park...Me...Forget everything. you can do that
You can do that, right? The soul of a woman who cannot leave the earth because she is worried about the man embraces the man desperately, but the man is expressionless. In the place where a woman's soul has disappeared into the darkness following the wind, a man who suddenly becomes lonely drops a single tear. The last thing the man mutters to himself while rubbing his eyes as if something got into his eyes.
- I think something just passed... ah, it's dazzling, I must have been struck by the wind again today.
The woman has already gone a long way from no return! However, the man who can't let go of the memory of loving that woman, the man's forgetfulness is not a disease but an act. It is the unconscious intention of a young man who cannot live without forgetting it.
There is also such an unfortunate love. Nevertheless, to say that the one who loves is happy would mean that love belongs to the one who loves. It must mean that there is a depth of life that can be learned by making love. A love that is only received does not create depth in a person. Because we cannot communicate with the world through love. A person in love is instinctively sensitive to the other person and feels sensitive to small changes in the other person. If he's hurt, I'm hurt; if he's happy, my heart rejoices. What is it? It is the ability to feel together. Love is the ability to feel someone other than yourself. It's a mysterious ability.
The philosopher who emphasizes the power of love is Jaspers. According to Jaspers, humans are loving beings. The existentialist Jaspers said that the fellowship of love restores man to existence. A love that is restored to existence, what kind of love is that? When I think about what it is, I think of what it is not. Above all else, love... I think I can understand why it is said that love is not self-satisfaction. There is a sense of satisfaction in love that can be called self-satisfaction. Why do you still say that you are not satisfied with yourself? Perhaps it is because love comes from the ability to be considerate of what the other person wants.
In the beautiful movie [Beautiful Flight], there is a landscape that makes you think about what love is. The girl, who cannot yet be called a woman, loves the migratory geese. people say To raise geese, cut off the tip of the wing of the geese with scissors. That way the geese don't leave the house as goose. If you cut off the tip of the wing with scissors, the geese cannot fly high. So you can't leave the house. But the girl refuses. Because I love geese. They couldn't 'bring' it because they loved it. When a goose becomes a goose, it loses its natural wings and sky, and becomes a bred animal.
When raised, they can eat well and live well with the geese. But the price is to lose the nature of the geese. Knowing this, the girl is desperate to keep the wild geese alive while enduring that she can never scissor the geese. That is love. Because we communicate in love, existence is instinctively aware of the needs of the one who is connected by love. A passion that can find meaning in life even if life is difficult with that passion. Isn't that why it is said that simple self-satisfaction is not love even though there is an element of self-satisfaction in love? Love grows with the ability to care for others.
Those who were happy because of love are miserable because of love, and those who smiled broadly because of love shed deep tears because of love. When drawing pictures of joy and sorrow with love and witnessing life, isn't the picture a living picture even though it has a vague and dark tone?
