Interpretation from the Fifty Exercises for Lover/陳雪 I believe that love dwelling in everyday life will get deeper and longer and enrich each other. Being separated and unable to live together, though, you can get along. Many couples do not get along with each other though living together. Transient and ephemeral, passion needs to be instilled with the vigor and energy of running water, which is well provided by getting along (though it usually dies as soon as becomes public because of most people’s carelessness). Lovers far away from each other should grasp the opportunities of getting along while meeting within a short time, for example, taking a walk, going shopping, exercising, having dinner, to know the friends and family of each other, to realize his job and hobbies, even to understand his sense of value in life and the whole lifetime that makes him the one you love. Also you introduce yourself to him thus you experience your childhood, girlhood and adolescence, through which you know yourself better. Thoroughly getting along with each other, you get self-confidence, believing love is not something appearing and then disappearing quickly. Love does not only happen at dark nights, after well dressed; you may take easy, be comfortable and without any fear, laying on the bed, in the state of weakness, with tears or reading the newspaper, watching TV and playing facebook meanwhile. While concentrating on dealing with the relationship between your beloved and yourself, you become matched with your ego, which is always behind and never quick to appear itself. 我深信愛要落實在生活裡才能更加深長,亦可使彼此豐富,即使你們相隔兩地,並未擁有共同生活的條件,「相處」可能不只透過同居,因為有許多人同居也不相處. 熱情的愛朝生暮死,壽命短暫,我們需要為它灌注活力與能量,而「相處」是最好的活水源泉(儘管大多數的人將它弄成了見光死),遠距離的戀人見面時也要多相處,透過生活裡的點點滴滴,散步、逛街、運動、用餐,認識對方的朋友、家人,理解他的工作、愛好,甚至認識他的人生價值,他之所以成為你所愛的樣子的「全部人生」,你也把自己介紹給他,像是可以因此再經歷一次童年、少女、青春,再認識自己一次. 透過深刻的相處,你會逐漸找到自信,相信愛情不只是曇花一現,愛並非只發生在昏暗的夜晚、在精心打扮之後,你會在床榻上、虛弱間,會在流淚時,會在兩人可能各自看著報紙電視玩臉書的時候,心中沒有恐懼地感到舒服自在,你花費心力去與她認真相處的同時,你也與內心深處那個不輕易現身的自己相處了.
