🎬 TODAY'S FILM — IT ASKS THIS

Two people share hearts through letters across different times. Is loving one who is not here now and even out of step in time a futile thing, or does it show that a resonance of hearts beyond time is real love?
THE QUESTION THE FILM ASKS

If two people living in different times can share hearts, is love bound by time at all?

📜 THE CLASSIC'S ANSWER

💡 TL;DR

The Xian (Resonance) hexagram of the I Ching speaks of the principle of two hearts responding to each other.

📝The Classic Answers

The Xian (Resonance) hexagram of the I Ching speaks of the principle of two hearts responding to each other. As the energies of heaven and earth resonate and all things are born, human hearts too connect and love arises. Resonance need not happen only in the same place and same time. A true heart reaches the other even across the misalignment of time. I refuse to measure love only by physical distance or moment. If heart truly resonates with heart, that is already a whole meeting in itself.
