What will love become after passion? More crazy? Or gradually flat? It all depents on you. Maitaining your own life in an art way, you will keep your secret as well as your partner's privacy.
You may disclose your cell phone's code or your dairy to your boyfriend, and you may have been accutomed to make yourself up, even answer the nature's call in the front of him. In your opinion all these behaviours help deepening the understand and love between you. Nonsense. No matter how close you are, everyone needs some space for himself which can't share with lover. Once you enter the secret space, you will find you're disturbed as the entry of the virus which will endanger the safty of the system. In my opinion, the balence of love likes the painting of Sir Baishi featuring for ambiguity.
Love, as a verb, represents a process of creation and appreciation. When you are appreciating an excellent painting or dedicated sculpture with a mafnifier in the closest way, you will see nothing. It's the same story to love. Therefore, the best way is to keep some distance in mentality and physic which is the key point to appreciation as well as life.
Art is a kind of life demonstrating a level. Keeping appropriate distance between both party bring beatiful time to you and keep your passion fresh. Be care, your open behaviors scare your boyfriend. Orlando Bloom once said, when he heard his girlfriend describing the process of breast augmentation surgery in detail for the first time, he rushed out of the room and immediatlyfelt it was a disaster destroying the beauty in his mind. Maybe this experience will keep along with his life.
Comédie Humaine written by Honoré de Balzac is full of the exciting chapters as well as the disgusting paragraphs. The former is too short while the latter shadows too long. In such a patriarchy society, the beautiful angels is always the taget. What is the meaning of them? Beauty and purity? or taget to man? Man in this society trys to conque the world as well as the beauties, no matter who he is, emperor or ordinary people.
Life is like a dream in which success is a once-pocessed aim while happiness represents a joyful feeling.
In a cafe, a lady, after divorcing with her husband, required her ex-husband tell her why frankly. Her ex-husband said after a drink of coffee, it all blamed to the change of the lady from a dedicated woman to a housewomen in sleeping suit taking the newspaper downstairs. In fact, no one will accept such a excuse for divorce. It is, however, the real aspect of the life art.
Secularity dominates the theme of the art permanently of which love, representing the deity, is the significant content in eastern art. For example, Khajuraho Group of Monuments in India included in the World Heritage List in 1986. They are a serious of temple groups built in the mid of the century featuring the numerous fabulous human sculptures in the shape of the making love, which are called the sexual book in India. There are many sculptures including the couple who are kissing, making love in normal or abnormal, etc. Compared with the Indian secularity demonstrated in the form of passion, Chinese folky culture and Chungong Picture charactorized in imagination and poetic.
The art of love is inconsistant to the human being history in which sex is close to the religion, culture and art no matter when and who, maybe in the future, maybe now, maybe we or you or them. Throughout the history it, which is more than a simple national custom, relates to the real life, cultural custom and ideology meanwile it also represents the love of life. Confucius once said:" Both the food and the sex are the nature of human."
Therefore, love alongside is a kind of secularity, culture and even art.
