Ha Jin - Love Is In The Air

Truth be told, this story did give me a bit of a surprise. To answer the last blogger's question about love, I think everyone remembers someone in their life that just inspired them to great heights. Though its a very difficult when we are both emotionally AND physically imbalanced and this was shown frequently by this poor innocent man caught within the uncertainties of love.

I felt the story was structured very well from the start all the way to the end. All it took to trigger our main character's imagination was the sound of a beautiful voice. With just a voice, he could literally experience all of the possibilities. A love so strong that even when asleep, his dreams would haunt him with his desires.

I believe everything happens for a reason and for Kang's case I would not think anything otherwise. His emotions sounded very intense and real, almost as if it it was a sign to act on intuition. However, because humans have a tendancy to talk themselves out of anything based on logic, Kang's nervousness and lack of courage made him lose the opportunity that the universe had placed for him. It seems that love is always giving us a taste of true happiness and what we need to believe in ourselves.

To sum up, I would have to say that this love tale plays a beat that is danced by many in society. When we believe that our chances for success will never come about because we are not worthy, then that is the reality we will face. If we take challenges head on and see every opportunity for what it is worth, our intuition will guide us to true ultimate lifelong fulfillment.

Overall, it was a good story and I enjoyed my own personal reflection of it. My question would be, have you ever benefited from acting impulsively on intuition?
