To Love As I Was Loved

以前读Sense and Sensibility的时候，颇费心思琢磨过Marianne的一句话：One can genuinely love but once, and second attachments can only be arrangements for economic security and social convenience.

一旦一个人很用心很努力无保留地爱过，最后却以伤心告终，那么就不要企图他/她在不久的将来能以同样的热忱、执着和无私去爱另一个人。人在受了伤之后，都会害怕，都会有所保留。小心翼翼，甚至畏手畏脚——有哪个笨蛋会一次又一次把自己掏空，然后被抛向深渊？究竟是什么窃去了对于承诺的勇气和渴望？！我还是会想，狗不会说话，更不会承诺，但是却活出了忠诚。而人呢，会说，更会承诺，却软弱疲乏……

这是多么痛的领悟！
