>>7998(Continuining on a new post because I hit character limit)We have to understand that 2D is outside the realm of the will, and neither the author or artist of the picture have been affected by his material will for the conception of these particular images/2d medium.
Because the pure woman transcends life itself; because is eternal, a eternal concept, ergo is heavily attached to the will of life, 3DPD woman are a symbol of life, because they represent fertility and the continuity of the species, so, as a being bond by your will to life, you may enter the tragedy of caring about 3DPD, not of your own personal will, but as the manifestation and instrument of the desire of the will to perpetuate itself, even when one believes that one loves a 3DPD woman, the experience is filtered through unconscious archetypes and projections, for example, love or sexual desire directed at 3DPD women is mediated by the libido, the psychosexual energy that drives attraction, attachment, and reproductive behaviour, or the unconscious that could be a reflection of previous experiences, trauma, wishes or fears that an individual may carry. This desire is concrete,but inevitably involves frustration, conflict and disappointment, because the 3DPD woman is unable to fully embody unconscious ideals, because the object of desire, (objet petit a) is structurally absent; reality can never match the unconscious ideal, reality cannot contain the idealized cause of desire. Ergo, all romantic love is illusory because we can never love a 3DPD woman purely, she is entwined with projections and idealizations.
“The woman does not exist. She is a function, not a being; she embodies the lack that structures desire.”
(Écrits, 1966)But when looking to 2D, this is the opposite, this is not a metaphysical entity, but a structural function of desire, the objet petit a. We are able to look directly to the core, detached to those carnal topics, detached from will and passion. We, as the receptors (of the 2D medium), if free from desire, will be able to perceive the aesthetic idea directly and reach the same idea as the creator, therefore, it's sole aim is the communication of knowledge. It serves as vehicles for sublimation, the libido is instead redirected to the idealised form, a contemplation of the idea that occurs on the psyche, instead of the metaphysical realm or something like that. Is less about the actual person or individual and more about the internalised representation of a composite of desires, ideals and unconscious expectations. After all, 2D may be a mark of unconscious wishes, a representation of the conscious or unconscious desire (objet petit a) for perfection and control, in contrast to the unpredictable enslaving nature of 3DPD relationships. Therefore, because allows the projection of the unconscious wishes, is psychologically functional, temporarily satisfying desire in a symbolic or psychic form; reduces anxiety, channels libido, and mediates internal conflict without engaging the full conflict of real attachment. The 2D is basically not an actual object, but the "objet petit a", the unattainable cause of desire that embodies lack, incompleteness and absence. This is what structurally drives love and longing; is always absent in reality, which is why desire can never be fully satisfied. Love of 2D is not about possession or real interaction, but about sustaining the dynamic of desire itself.
Let me explain this a bit better: Basically, if you love or desire 3DPD, you are a slave of your will, a slave of the 3DPD, because is an irrational behaviour that is not done just by your mere knowledge of reality, but you're being coerced by your own Will. This is not bad per-se, but I'll reach to that later. If you have know 2D, you have reached an state of knowledge suspended of that will of desire, therefore, is you, on your free will who decides what to love. Because 2D happens in a different timeline of your, 2D is eternal, you are not. 3D is eternal and material, you're. So you are bound by the same rules of 3DPD, but not by the same rules of 2D. 2D is a copy of a superior state of knowledge, and 3DPD is just a copy of a copy of a copy, therefore, the essential qualities that made the object ideal in first place, have been diluted to mere anecdotes. Both 2D and 3DPD are concepts of a tragedy, but the difference is that the manifestation of woman (3DPD) causes suffering by the mere fact it exists, but we feel relieved when we achieve the experience of it (2D), and momentarily are able to being liberated from the claws of Will. Ergo, 2D is the expression of the ideal of woman, and the path of it's temporal negation (At the same time). Because is a recognition of the world's ephemeral nature, a memento mori.
“Every beautiful thing is the objectification of the Will to life; yet the knowledge of it quiets the Will.”
(WWR, §38)Therefore, having a 3DPD relationship, means that one has to accept the futility of it, as it will eventually decline and decay, because that's it's inherent nature, the 3DPD woman, which in first place was already far away from the 2D ideal, will age and get further and further away to that ideal until the tragic forces of nature achieve it's eventual annihilation. In this sense, the few amounts of beauty that a 3DPD creature can own, will shine more in the darkness of a universe tending toward ultimate death. Love of 2D is intellectually superior and purer, but carries the awareness of doom; love for 3DPD is immediate, contingent and carries desire and suffering. Both tragic.
In some sense, both overlap in practice.
