love is eternal
At the end of the semester, my roommate and I held a party inspired by the general education courses.A forum called "Love is Eternal". We were fortunate to have many scholars present that day, and the discussions were exciting
It's like going back to the Greek society two thousand years ago. I still remember the notes from "Symposium"
Recordings of brilliant speeches by Apollodorus, Jesus and a nineteenth-century factory capitalist...
Apollodorus: I am very honored to be here and share my views on love with you. Love is the most valuable
Praiseworthy, this was the theme of our conversation at the Symposium. The tragedy writer
Agathon believes that the God of Love is a delicate, pliable, eternally young and
The God of temperance and righteous virtues.
1 What a wonderful compliment! Dioti
Malacca believes that love is not a perfect god, nor is it the "beloved";
On the contrary, love is the spirit with long-lasting pursuit, the "lover", he is the rich
and poor, wise and ignorant, mortal and immortal offspring.
2We praise love God lies in his desire for beautiful things, which is the root of human life.
source! Because we long for beauty, we pursue immortality through reproduction,
Just as the act of love breeds beauty, both in the body and in the soul.
3Jesus: Dear Apollodorus, let me ask a question. The object of love should not be

正值學期完結的時候，室友與我受通識課程的啓啟發，舉辦了一場
名為「愛是永恆」的論壇。當日我們有幸邀請到眾多學者出席，討論激
烈，觥籌交錯，有如重回二千年前的希臘社會。我還記得《會飲篇》記
錄者阿波羅多洛、耶穌和一位十九世紀的工廠資本家的精彩演說……
阿波羅多洛：非常榮幸來到這裏，和各位分享對愛的看法。愛是最值
得讚美的，這恰是我們會飲時的談話主題。那位悲劇作
家阿加松認為，愛神是一位嬌嫩、柔韌、永遠年輕而又
有節制和公義美德的神。
1多麼美妙的讚美！但狄奧提
瑪卻認為，愛並不是完美的神，也不是「被愛者」；相
反，愛是擁有恆久追求的精靈，是「愛者」，他是富足
和貧乏、聰明和無知、可朽和不朽的後代。
2我們稱頌愛
神，在於他企盼美好的事物，這正是人類生生不息的根
源！因為我們渴望擁有美好，所以通過繁衍追求不朽，
正如愛的行為就是孕育美，既在身體中，又在靈魂中。
3耶穌： 親愛的阿波羅多洛，容我提出疑問。愛的對象不應該是
醜陋的事物？例如一個有愛的人絕不會和一個病態的身
體繁衍下一代？
