At stake is a cultured adventure of the attractive, that almost all people, eye witnesses or different, wouldn't be keen to recognize as a result of the immorality of this sort of concession. That feeling which works unacknowledged simply because flawed is a forbidden feeling and the aesthetics attached with it's a forbidden aesthetics.
