那些危險關係

I'm sorry to say this but those who are most worthy of love are never made happy by it. Do you still think men love the way we do? No... men enjoy the happiness they feel. We can only enjoy the happiness we give. They are not capable of devoting themselves exclusively to one person. So to hope to be made happy by love is a certain cause of grief.

這是約翰·馬爾科維奇的老太太舅媽坐在哭泣的米歇爾·菲弗床邊講的一段對白,老太太說得漫不經心又意味深長.我想是因為她早明白這話除了惹來年輕女人此時更多的眼淚外,既不能助她得到愛情,更不能改變她的宿命.就像我們永遠不會因為明白了些許道理,就不會受到傷害一樣.每次傷害過後的總結似乎都是為了避免下次的傷害,但當傷害再次來臨,能做的只是再次總結避免傷害的辦法.可笑的是循環往復的結果不是因為有對策而去避免或化解傷害,唯一的收穫是感情變得堅硬麻木不容易感覺到傷害而已.
