Chapter 2028: Sudden Love (Please give me a monthly ticket!!! Please recommend!!! Please subscribe!)
Politics, in many cases, does not care about the truth, or even what you want to say or do. What politics really cares about is what the majority thinks!
Your starting point and the result of doing this are not important. Only the public's opinion is important.
This is also the helplessness of politics.
Does Heimdall really have a problem with Thor? Of course, Heimdall doesn't really care about his sister's private life... The atmosphere in Asgard is still very open. Before getting married, you can have fun. No one thinks it's a big deal for women to fall in love before getting married.
In Asgard, women have lived in a male-dominated society since ancient times, but far from being powerless, they run farms and households, are responsible for textile production, and can even be part of the upper class of society.
Women held a high status in Asgard very early on, and while still living on Earth, women probably had a good deal of control over the running of the household, and were likely responsible for running affairs in the absence (or death) of their husbands. Although subordinate to their husbands like their contemporaries, women can be said to have a great degree of responsibility and even control over the running of the household, as symbolized by the fact that they were often buried with keys, and they might sometimes be responsible for their husbands' absence (or death).
In modern times, Asgard society attaches greater importance to women's rights.
In fact, within Asgard, all promotion channels are equal for men and women, and even in some special positions, women have more advantages than men.
The most typical example is the Valkyrie.
Long ago, the Valkyries were super warriors specially selected by Odin. They were extremely brave and even most men could not match them. They served as Odin's personal guards and messengers in various battlefields and made great contributions.
And left many legends in Asgard.
Even to this day, Asgardians become extremely excited when talking about Valkyries, and even the most chauvinistic people will stand in awe of them.
For example, Thor had always wanted to join the Valkyrie since he was a child...but Odin told him distressedly that he was a boy and could not join the Valkyrie. This made Thor hesitate for a long time and decided to cut off his penis...At that time, he always felt that the penis could only be used for peeing and was completely unnecessary.
Loki swore... This was really not his instigation... He didn't expect his brother to be so stupid. Maybe it was at that time that Loki came up with the idea of becoming king himself.
Even a woman can become king.
After all, Odin had always trained Hela as his successor.
So women have a very high status in Asgard.
This kind of society, generally speaking, does not pay much attention to premarital behavior.
But Asgard places great emphasis on chastity after marriage.
This is not simply because they think it is immoral for women to cheat, but because the Asgardians regard marriage as a signed contract. Asgardians can be cruel and stupid, but they will never break their promises, and they will fulfill any vows they make at all costs.
This is also the reason why Loki was unwelcome at the beginning, because Loki swore to be loyal to his brother, but he betrayed Thor, so he was looked down upon by the Asgardians.
Closer to home.
Although he would not care about his sister's private life, it does not mean that Heimdall would sit idly by and watch his sister being fooled by Thor.
This is so bullying.
But again, this doesn't mean that Heimdall is no longer loyal...these are two different things.
Being loyal to the king is a public matter, standing up for yourself is a private matter.
At least Heimdall didn't think there was anything wrong. Even if Odin woke up now, Heimdall would have a clear conscience.
But the problem is that other people don’t think so.
A staunch supporter of the royal family suddenly stands up and expresses his dissatisfaction with the king...this is a very big problem.
To others, personal and business matters don’t really matter, they only see the cracks!
This is very important.
Thor's immaturity makes some people a little worried.
The Asgardians were not afraid that their king was a madman or a dictator.
As a nation that admires strength, their requirements for their king are simple, just strong enough.
But Thor's behavior made them think that their king was just a child... and a child could not become a king.
This is also the reason why Odin got angry when Thor went to Jotunheim and made trouble. He was too immature!
At that time, Thor was young and full of vigor, eager for war and yearning for victory. His father Odin had taught him: A wise king would never take the initiative to provoke a war, but he would always be ready. It was because Thor was too arrogant and ignorant that Odin, the father of the gods, decided to deprive him of his divine power and exile him to the earth. On the earth, he slowly realized his ignorance and the consequences of his actions. In the end, Thor regained his divine power. On the earth, he understood the ruthlessness and cruelty brought by war, so he had to break the rainbow bridge to stop Loki's conspiracy to destroy the frost realm.
Thor understands the meaning of his existence. Power is not his ultimate pursuit. The throne will only bring more killing and sacrifice. What he has to do is to protect the subjects of Asgard and the peace of the Nine Realms. This is the duty of a hero.
All along, Frigga thought Thor really understood these issues.
She was also pleased to see that Thor was spending more and more time in Asgard, and even broke up with his girlfriend on Earth.
Everything is back on track!
But now...
……
"Is it your fault?"
Kai found Aphrodite playing in the gardens of heaven.
This woman has this ability. She can blend into any group and please anyone. Look, she quickly became friends with the maids in the Heavenly Palace... well, the kind you think. After all, how can love be divided by gender?
Aphrodite looked at Kai in surprise.
“You actually figured it out!”
Kai twisted his neck uncomfortably: "I can feel that I have feelings for you, but my mind tells me that this is wrong. This goes against my personality."
Kai used to be very resistant to Aphrodite.
After all, the kind of love she represents and the kind of love Kai longs for are two completely different things!
She is the goddess of beauty and love!
Love is just incidental, or in other words, desire is the main thing and love is incidental. The love she represents is not the pure and beautiful thing that people imagine, but an impulse, an impulse out of desire and without reason.
It's like love at first sight and lust at first sight.
The two seem similar, but there are actually differences.
In people's lives, there are often emotional experiences such as love at first sight and lust at first sight. Love at first sight refers to the strong admiration we feel when we see someone for the first time; lust at first sight refers to the emotion that arises from being attracted to the other person's appearance or figure. Although they seem similar on the surface, there are some differences in their essence.
First of all, love at first sight is generated through the first encounter. It is an immediate emotion based on the overall impression and inner charm. When we first meet someone, we are often attracted by their temperament, speech and behavior, and have a deep feeling. This feeling may be because of their confidence, humor or gentleness, not just because of appearance. Although appearance also plays a role in love at first sight, it is not the main factor. In contrast, lust at first sight focuses more on the attraction to the other person's appearance. People often have a strong interest in the other person because of the characteristics of the other person's appearance, figure or dress. This emotion is often superficial and does not have a deep understanding of the other person's inner qualities and personality. Lust at first sight is often based on visual stimulation, but over time, because the depth of emotional needs cannot be met, this feeling may gradually diminish.
Although love at first sight and lust at first sight are similar, the difference between them lies in the passage of time and the development of emotions. Love at first sight may deepen with further communication and understanding, while lust at first sight may gradually decrease due to other aspects of the other party not meeting expectations. Love at first sight is more like the germination of a seed, which takes time to nurture and develop; while lust at first sight is more like a momentary spark, which is easy to extinguish in a short time.
In summary, love at first sight and lust at first sight have some similarities, but their essences are different. Love at first sight focuses more on the quick emotion of overall impression and inner charm; while lust at first sight focuses more on the attraction to appearance. One is to really like the person and be willing to make the person happy through one's own efforts. The other is to covet the person's body, and once the desire is satisfied and the novelty disappears, you will no longer like the person. No matter which kind of emotion it is, we should think and observe rationally to ensure that our emotions are based on a real and lasting foundation.
Of course, all this is bullshit.
Kai doesn't really care about love at first sight or lust at first sight.
That thing is so advanced.
In Kai's opinion, everything means the same thing.
The main reason is that he...has no grassland at home.
Or maybe he can't support a grassland. Looking at Aphrodite's record, it's really hard to be nervous. This guy is promiscuous by instinct, and love comes and goes quickly.
She will not stop for anyone, and loving everyone she sees is the norm.
Kai is a man who has some of the feudal dregs of male chauvinism.
For example, Kai knew that Black Widow had a bad private life, but he didn't care because he and her had no feelings for each other, and everyone knew it.
Anyway, if Black Widow had another boyfriend, Kai wouldn't be surprised or angry.
But I probably won't fight with her.
This Kai can accept.
But Aphrodite went too far, she made Kai fall in love with her!
How can you tolerate this? This is totally different from Black Widow. Can you accept that your lover has other partners? Maybe some people can accept it, but it definitely doesn't include Kai!
So Kai was always on guard against Aphrodite.
As a result, I fell in love with her inexplicably... Isn't this ridiculous?
"This is your doing, isn't it?"
Kai always thought that some curses or charms were useless to him.
Unexpectedly, I still got infected.
"You don't like it?"
Aphrodite looked at Kai pitifully.
Kai...what a sin!
Kai couldn't even say the three words "dislike"... Isn't this a complete complainer?
This made Kai even angrier.
"Remove the curse from me!"
Kai said in the most fierce tone he could.
But Aphrodite was not afraid... No one caught in her golden net could hurt her... This was also the reason why she could still hold the position of one of the twelve main gods even though she was so weak.
She may not be able to defeat her enemy, but no one can defeat her either!
"Do you think love is a curse?"
Aphrodite looked at Kai in shock.
“Love can come and go as it pleases, but when it comes and goes is not up to a person to decide.”
Aphrodite said with a smile.
If love is a curse, then Aphrodite is definitely the best curser in the entire universe.
"You're playing with fire, you know that?"
Kai suddenly calmed down.
Regarding love, the French writer Victor Hugo once said in his book The Man Who Laughs: Love without fantasy is like a person without food. Love needs to be cultivated with passion, whether it is physical love or spiritual love.
This sentence tells us that love is an emotion hidden deep in a person's heart. It is something on the spiritual level. Without the fantasy of love, we cannot feel the most beautiful love. People often say that love makes people blind. People who are deeply in love often fall into their own subjective thinking, fantasizing about the beauty of love and not seeing the shortcomings of their lovers. In psychology, there is a famous "halo effect".
It means that when people interact with each other, a particularly prominent characteristic or quality of the other party will obscure their correct understanding of the other qualities and characteristics of the other party.
Applying the "halo effect" to love, we can get such an inspiration: when we love someone deeply, this person has a halo in our eyes. Under our subjective impression, we will infinitely magnify the other person's advantages and thus fail to see the other person's advantages.
In love, it is actually very dangerous to fail to distinguish between fantasy and reality: good love can bring people happiness and joy, while bad love can plunge people into the abyss of darkness.
Of course, this kind of thing also depends on the person.
Is Kai that kind of person?
The answer is... No!
Although he can't be as ruthless as a tyrant, he is essentially not a petty bourgeois who would die for love.
For example, Kai reads a lot of romance novels and watches a lot of romance movies, and feels that the male and female protagonists are all fucking idiots.
After all, love is not a necessity like air and water. If you don't have it, you'll be gone. I really don't want to die for such a thing.
So he could face up to his sudden love for Aphrodite... This thing was not normal at all!
