Secondly, the king's plan was an inspiration of god, as others have mentioned here. Finally, the handmaiden's love for the goldsmith was superficial. When his physical beauty faded, she lost her passion for him. In this same process, she realized the love of the king, who not only restored her health from heart-soreness, but also liberated her from this superficial love! This allowed her to realize the truer, deeper love of the king. A love more worthy of having. In the end, he did what was good for her, and not for selfish reasons. If he was selfish, he would not have allowed her to be with another man for a set period. Lastly, if the story is taken metaphorically, it is a parallel for love of god. Why love things that can die, and with it our love itself dies? Why not love some eternal being (God?) instead. The one God who does not return your love on a superficial basis. A love for and of the Lord who in His infinite wisdom, which is sometimes beyond our understanding, does things for us that are for own good. Just my opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8427347737062461658.post-68166682699613772882023-02-15T03:13:15.736-06:002023-02-15T03:13:15.736-06:00Nice work.
