Chapter 23 Chapter 23: Be loving, not selfish

Friends, we live in this vast world, who doesn't want to have a love life where love is the best.Yes, friends, everyone has their own beautiful wishes, and everyone has their own beautiful pursuits. The story I will tell below, I believe you will get inspiration from it. Long ago, a nun seeking enlightenment carved a statue of Buddha and wrapped it in gold leaf.The Buddha statue is very beautiful, and this nun always takes the Buddha statue with her wherever she goes. Every day, she burns incense in front of her Buddha statue.But after a long time, she found that the fragrance drifted to other Buddha statues.So she designed a funnel through which the fragrance would only drift towards her own Buddha statue.But within a few days, the aroma blackened the nose of the golden Buddha statue, making the Buddha statue particularly ugly.

In fact, love should not be too selfish, it should shine like sunshine, flow like air, and nourish like rain.Only in this way, that love is the most simple, purest and most pious.Just imagine, if you let the sun bathe only on you, if you let the air only concentrate in your room, if you let the rain fall only on your world, what kind of result it will be. Love is the nectar of human beings, and love is the spring of life.Without love, we cannot know and understand other people, nor can we live in harmony with them.However, if this kind of love is stamped with selfishness, jealousy and hatred will arise, and there will be a fear of dancing with "wolves" in the communication between people.

People who like jealousy and hatred are mostly people who are selfish about love.They are always self-centered, hoping that all luck will only fall on themselves, and all bad luck will fall on the shoulders of others. They only care about their own gains and losses and do not care about the lives of others. In short, they only hope that they are better than others Otherwise, they will complain about the injustice of the world, try their best to overwhelm others, and even benefit themselves at the expense of others. Every ring of life is intertwined with sorrow and joy; sorrow and joy are all stories of love.Those who cherish love and know how to love will always be favored by life.

Some people say that love is to cut your heart and give it to others, you will win more friends.One more friend and one more world, you are no longer a lonely traveler. Some people say that love means not being greedy, not asking for anything, treating others with sincerity, and only hoping to do something beneficial for others. These small and easy things will benefit the other party infinitely. Love is a kind of "goodness", which is lost in "cruelty" by "cutting the heart and giving it to others"; love is a kind of reciprocity, "making the other party benefit endlessly", but ignoring the party who gives the affection.However, what is the highest state of love, not everyone knows the answer that is far away in the sky and right in front of us.

Once, my wife was about to go out to visit friends, and I suddenly asked her how to explain "love". The wife laughed and said, "You have written articles for more than ten years, but you haven't even figured out this question. You are not deceiving readers." My wife's eyes rolled occasionally, she took a bottle of perfume from the dressing table, put it in my hand, and said, "Sprinkle it on me." Suddenly, the room was filled with fragrance.I said, "I've sprinkled the perfume on you, but you haven't answered my question yet." "I answered your question the moment you put on your perfume."

After pondering for a moment, I suddenly realized that my wife told me that love is like a bottle of perfume, when you sprinkle it on others, it also scents yourself. Friendship and love are good companions for lonely souls in the journey of life. Friendship is as light as tea, while love is as thick as wine. Good tea is fragrant and thirst-quenching, and good wine is mellow and intoxicating.
