27. Wife of An Artist

Sangcheol's Diary Podcast_상철의 일기

Today is June 25, 2016. Saturday. I once read an article regarding a divoce ceremony in Japan. Like wedding ceremony, both sides wish other party's luck and new start before going their separate ways. I still remember that it was a refreshing shock to me because I became awakened to the pleasant separation. When I think of parting in the past, there are scenes of tears at parting or the sorrow of the parting in my head. But the divoce ceremony reminded me of the 3rd way of handling separation between man and woman. When I read an article reporting that the wife of a movie director having an affair with an actress is still waiting for him to return and will never grant him a divorce, I felt stuffy. Because the man will not be returning to his wife and will live his new life regardless of divoce. From my point of view, she is going through hell now and for many years to come if she stick to her opinion. As an wife of an artist, if she decide to let go of her husband pleasantly, it would be the joyful first step for each other. Letting go of him is also to let go of her suffering. In doing so, she or he will not be the focus of the news anymore and they can start their new life individually and independently as an adult.
