The Unbearable Lightness Of Being We all need somebody to look at us. We can be divided into four categories according to the kind of look we wish to live under. The first category longs for the look of an infinite number of anonymous eyes, in other words, for the look of the public… The second category is made up of people who have a vital need to be looked at by many known eyes. They are the tireless hosts of cocktail parties and dinners… Then there is the third category, the category of people who need to be constantly before the eyes of the person they love. Their situation is as dangerous as the situation of people in the first category. One day the eyes of their beloved will close, and the room will go dark. And finally, there is the fourth category, the rarest, the category of people who live in the imaginary eyes of those who are not present. They are the dreamers. — Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness Of Being *Archive  "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.” |

glad to see Kundera's piece here.. I think as we evolve we are going through each of these categories... fourth has become inevitable to slip in ...

I know I've been on the fringes of all the categories but I, too, have settled into the fourth.

Sometimes we need people to look at us only to reaffirm they know we are watching them

I think I used to be in the third category, and now I've slipped into the fourth "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”

I love the movie with same name. Sad, but yet so erotic in some scenes. "One Big Sky Covers Us All Equally"
