Just half an hour ago I wrote a post about "The Moon Represent my Heart" by Teresa Teng. I have so true sense of love since my girlfriend is right next to me. It originally was joke I made to her, but really when I think about it, it's so true, so I want to tell you, too.
The guy who made the song really is tricky. If the song title is really "The moon represents my heart" in English then I can see through what he really thinks about love.
Traditional 'Love = Moon'
Chinese girls may think that the love as the Moon is wonderful. They think it's forever love, always love, strongest love, most beautiful love.
The guys thinks that using the Moon can make the girls happy. They "exploited" the Moon in poems and essays. They mainly did that to flirt with the girls, which they got crushed on. And if the girls fell for that, they got a wife... or a few.
Vietnamese has the same culture too. And I think in many Asian countries, they have this same attitude. Love is as beautiful as the Moon. How about Western culture? I really don't know, so if you are one of those, please kindly comment.
My 'Love = Moon' Logic
What about me. I don't think so. My thought is totally apposite. I have a twisted mind? Really? Then read my thoughts.
I agree witht the author, and I think only I have this feeling. Love is like the Moon in this way... it's unstable. One day you strongly love, the other day you don't. Just like the Moon. There are few characteristics of the moon:
- Only display at night time. If it display at daytime, you hardly see it. Same as Love?
- There is full Moon, and there is no Moon. When the Moon reach it's peak, it's round and so beautiful. But at the end of the cycle, it disappear. Same as Love?
- There is bright night, there is cloudy night. When the sky is clear, the Moon shine. When the sky is cloudy, the Moon is so hard to see. Same as Love?
I hope these 3 points are enough to display my thoughts on comparing Love to the Moon. If not, then feel free to use the comment form to throw some feedback at me.
