Astronomical,
And each time, in each one, there is a point where the two are separated by death after some huge misunderstanding that has kept them apart has been cleared and they were finally together. Then death comes and what should have been the beginning of their happily ever after is ruined. (Until the miraculous rebirth of course).
This separation and wait is supposedly a test of time and true affection. I watch the person who is left behind waiting, sometimes I even share their grief and tears with them and I ask myself out loud:
People actually WANT this? Crave this? Why, for the love of all that is holy, would you want to carry such a heavy burden willingly? Or is it that they are already trapped in it and now there is no other way?
But then, those who aren’t in it.. we who have been in it and know its cruel sting.. why do we want to go back? Are we just all huge masochists hiding our depravity behind the veneer of love?
Is love just a concept after all, an abstract idea that we have created to explain away our secret desire for self harm? And is this auto-injury an inherent trait or a learned one, do you think?
Is love nature or nurture?
Nature vs Nurture
I have been on a KDrama spree on Netflix. All the great love stories - Ashes of love, Eternal love, Rise of phoenixes - and the newer ones like ‘Love between fairy and demon’ etc.
