Features: Can truth also be kissed? faint! Of course. Think about it: what's the phrase your girlfriend often says to you during your honeymoon? Hehe! The biggest characteristic of people in the phase of falling in love is being out of their minds. For example, her boyfriend might be rambling about financial trends, Greenspan's brain, the stock market like a spring that's twitching, and such national and social issues as democracy, the rule of law,, and corruption. But the girl beside him is excited, as if listening to a moving "My Heart Will Go On" in a daze. It's as if her boyfriend is telling her, "I will only love beauty in this life, not the empire. Whether Greenspan goes crazy or Wall Street crashes, my gaze cannot be taken away from your eyes." Hehe. This is the truth, hahaha! So specific, so vivid, so lifelike—this is the truth, the truth seen by Nietzsche!
"He's 16 years older than me, has a very happy family, a wife who is a year younger than him, and a son and daughter: a decent career; standing next to him, they look like father and daughter. His voice is very pleasant, and every gesture exudes an intellectual charm. I often ran into his office, resting my head on his knees and sitting on the carpet, listening to music of various styles while he worked. I read, he did his work, and from time to time, he would pat my head or stroke my face. It felt warm and secure. I couldn't quite put my finger on what this feeling was. I just couldn't help but like being with him."
As I was staring blankly at my laptop, a "ding-dong-dong" MSN notification suddenly pulled me back into this four-dimensional space. "It's no use, you should give up early!" I typed without surprise, mechanically replying. Then, I couldn't help but add, "But this feeling is nice."
After a while, there was no response from the other side. Fearing my words might disappoint her, I typed another string of characters: "This man should be dragged out and beaten with a stick. Wake up!" I paused for a moment and felt awkward, so I added, "Actually, both should."
"This seems too violent." Finally, she replied. "Violent? Oh, I was wrong!"
"What did you mean by 'results' earlier?" It seems there's some truth to the idea that girls in love are slow on the uptake. After typing for half a day, she finally caught my phrase. faint!
"The refined, gentle, and taste of middle-aged men, as well as their career success, are all the result of years of hard work and dedication from their wives. It's something they've painstakingly built. Young girls, when faced with the temptation of middle-aged men, please show some restraint and think carefully before acting."
With my swift thinking that even Socrates would be amazed at, it was a piece of cake to type out such a profound argument. I proudly awaited her Athena-like exclamation, hehe!
"I'm a lioness!" she weakly typed back a few words.
"Leo?" I immediately realized she believed in astrology. faint! I quickly opened a web page, typed in WVWV.google.com, and entered the keyword "Leo." Instantly, a wealth of information appeared. I clicked on one and went to pages 3-4.
