Predestinated hostility, predestinated encounter
Recently watched a cartoon called “wolf and sheep”, it’s about two hostile species establishing true friendship. No matter how disagree from the sheep family, or how disdainful objection from the wolf family, wolf Gabel and Sheep Mei just ran away from their home town, stayed in a jungle, watching moon light every night, and forever.
Have to say, wolf and sheep were much luckier than Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet from two hostile families, also predestinated encounter, love lead them to their path, they felt in love, but could not last forever. Juliet was going to fool everyone by pretending death, after that she could fly away with Romeo to have a new life, where no fighting, no combat at all. However Romeo thought his beloved was dead, so he ended his life by his sword in front of her coffin. And when Juliet woke up from the potion, what she saw is Romeo’s corpse, so she ended her live by Romeo’s sword, following her lover to another world.
Yes, all coincident caused this poor couple could not be together forever in the earth; but their immortal love just lasts for several centuries as classic. Is it only when our mortal fresh faded, then our fragile love could flare as stars? Is it mortal human being, have to accept the flowery love wearing away in drops as time goes by?
When people trade off love for money, fame, power, someone sacrifices live for love, should it be worshipful? Or it is pathetic? Eventually, love just a luxury, very few people could afford it, most people only could choose the commodity. Hopefully, Cupid will not be unemployed in the future…
宿命的敌对,宿命的邂逅
最近看了一部卡通片,羊和狼的故事。两个敌对的种族,却建立起坚贞的友谊。无论羊家族多么反对,或者是狼家族多么鄙视,狼嘎贝和羊咩排除万难的离开了自己的故乡,一起到一个森林永远开心的一起看满月,永远永远。
如此说来,这对朋友比罗密欧和朱丽叶幸运的多了。同样是敌对的家族,同样是宿命的相遇,爱情让两人结合,却没办法让两人天长地久。本来朱丽叶打算用假死骗过所有人,从此以后改名换姓就可以和罗密欧远走高飞双宿双栖。可惜罗密欧却以为爱人已死,在棺材前自尽。偏偏等朱丽叶醒来的一刻,看到的是罗密欧尚未冷却的尸体,痛哭之余,也同样以死相报。
各种巧合让一对小情侣无法在尘世天长地久,但是他们的爱情却做到了永垂不朽千古流传。难道,只有当肉体消亡的一刻,才能让脆弱的爱情变得光芒万丈?难道,凡夫俗子,便注定忍受当初的爱情,在生命中一点一点的流逝?
当人们为金钱,名誉,地位等牺牲爱情的时候,一些人为爱情牺牲自己的生命,应该说是可敬,还是可悲?原来,爱情不过是生命中的奢侈品,某些人可以负担的起,但是往往更多人只能选择实用品。希望,丘比特日后不会失业。。。。
