I watched Giselle on 16 Oct, Saturday. This romantic ballet has been re-interpreted by Mats Ek (1945 ~). Rugged energy replaces the usual elegance of ballet, yet when I watched it, I was profoundly moved by the end of Act 1. The simpleton Giselle was seduced by a young noble man, and predictably, he could not bring her into his society. And he has a change of heart. She was shaken and went mad.
Passion and Sanity are so closely linked that when one's passion is thwarted, one can go mad.
passion borders on lust of the pleasure of our desires... Moderation sounds like a bad word for all who lives with a passion but all things are so transient. All will pass away. Unless one puts this passion in one thing that never fades away, the soul will be in jeopardy of losing its fine balance.
It is by living in the truth of God that keeps us much in balance (in the Bible this's called peace) in this fragmented world.
