Fiction is great that way. It can make us believe people are meant for each other.

I have a similar mentality towards tattoos of that nature. It is a back and forth thing. Same thing with marriage.

Live in the now with your partner, love them in the now. Whether it lasts forever you can truly never know, as what matters the most is the present. That's my belief.

My partner knows I don't believe in forever or the concept of marriage but 6 years later they have still stuck by my side.

That is probably the best and healthiest way to go about things.

Are you a guy or a girl? Curious. If that's too personal, then you don't need to say. XD

I prefer not to be gendered on the internet, once people know then the treat you based on it.

No harm in asking though :)

I understand, I feel the same way. Some are easier to guess than others, based on stereotypes, or others just say it.

You are harder to guess, that's why I asked. The nature of this manhwa also adds to that perception.

It's easy to say that.. but impossible to do when you know that everyday is a challenge..and the future is never easier. should you fight more for it, or let go in peace.

congratulation for keeping it strong this far.

I'm not sure if you are referring to your own relationship but I can only say what speaks for me. Mine has definitely lasted for these reasons but everyone is different. I don't want to fight for my relationship, i'm weary of living enough already.

it kills me.. because my favorite character fought for 10 years.. while I was worn out and gave up easily.

KYAAAAAA, just watched Handmaiden. Foxy Lady, you were so mean, you didn't tell it me it was based on Fingersmith. I need to read the book and watch Fingersmith again to compare them. KYAAAAA.

On a different note, is the wall of Seju's room inspired by Handmaiden? Can't help but notice the resemblance.

Great movie. :) Did not read the book though.

there is a beautiful piece of art called "Fire" by Deepa Mehta
it was filmed in 1996.. but still one of my favorite

Sita: Isn't it amazing? We're so bound by customs and rituals. Somebody just has to press my button, this button marked Tradition, and I start responding like a trained monkey. Do I shock you?
Radha: Yes.
Sita: You're lovely.

this sounds like a conversation I would normally make XD

India is very bound by customs and rituals, it annoys my mum.

Customs, rituals, traditions, rules.... things that drive me insane. It is not a lighthearted movie, is it? I already feel a sad ending from the movie description :[.

It is not a lighthearted movie.. but it has its moments.. its unregretable and a master piece.

For Customs and rituals.. they are a part of our human creation that at some point embodied wisdom and reasoning.. with time, people memic them automotically and forget the essence of them. That's when those customs and rituals lose their meanings from enriching our lives to restraining it.

Customs and rituals, just like religion had their time and place.

religion had their time and place.

heheh, I've always had this view to religion.. romantic, philosophical and it deals with metaphysics of some sort.. which makes it sexy even XD

(I know.. I'm weird XD.. sorry)

Wow, religion, romantic and sexy in the same sentence. Something is not right.

Wow, religion, romantic and sexy in the same sentence. Something is not right.

yes it is,
(I've never been a christian, but let's assume it's a middle ground, a religion we are both familiar with).. the mere idea of a woman letting go her desires to be intimate and loved by a man she can actually feel physically to be married to another whom she may never meet in her life.. is purely romantic. the trust, believe.. love.. sacrifice and sufferness.. are all part of it.

another side of that.. how believers think of God..they never saw him.. they may never will.. but there's a yearning to be understood by this God and to receive forgiveness and love from him.. they believe in mutual trust: so they trust him to take care of them.. and he trusts them with whatever he gave them to do good with it.. and when they pray, they get this sense of sacred special connection as if there is no one else but them. The bible for them is the letter they received.. they admire and read it with love and respect.. stories that he shares with them.. warnings.. promises.. it's all there.

these are very romantic aspects of religion.. regardless if you believe in it or not, it is romantic nonetheless. And I only talked about Christianity. hehehe..
the sexy part .. we can talk about it if you are interested still XD
