This made mi think of a part in "zheng qing"
where the bad guy ask the woman who love him deeply to eat
soil.
and she actually did it.
which actually devalue her worth.
So perhaps one have to go thru a great ordeal before one can
realise wat went wrong.
as there is a saying,
"pang guan zhe qing, dang zhui zhe mi"
dun ask for the impossible unless u wanna be detested.
unfortunately, empathy or sympathy is the closest u can get.
is tat comparable to love itself?
