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 a dangerous as the situation in the first category. One day the eyes of their beloved will close, and the room will go dark.
In Milan Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Being," a distinct group of individuals is described as those who require constant visibility to their loved ones. This need reflects a deeper dependence that can be detrimental, similar to those in less emotionally secure categories. The perception of love here is intertwined with the fear of losing visual connection, underscoring an unstable foundation for relationships.
Kundera suggests that for such individuals, the binding security of their partner's presence is precarious. If the connection they rely on falters, either through distance or loss, it diminishes their world, akin to a room going dark. This metaphor highlights the fragility of these emotional ties, indicating that reliance solely on physical presence can lead to profound vulnerability.
