Chapter 105 Love is Life
[United States] Liu Yong
Thank God, even though I have a body, it can make me have a lot of love, love myself, love relatives, love friends, love the earth, love life.

Visiting a friend's house, she poured wine for everyone and said that it was time for the older children to go out on a date.Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the eldest child came down from upstairs and rushed out the door in a hurry.

During the meal, while serving the dishes, she said to her husband, "It's time to start the show."It turned out that the third child of his family had a performance at school that night.

Chatting after dinner, she poured tea for everyone and said, "It's time for the second child to be home."Then I saw the second child enter the door.

"It seems that the three children are all in your calculation." I laughed.

"It's not in the calculation, it's in the heart." She pointed to the heart, "I, as a mother, can't divide myself into three parts, but I can divide my heart into three parts."

"A third of each child?"

I often hear parents ask their children: "Do you love your father more, or do you love your mother?" I often hear children ask their parents unfairly: "Do you love your brother, sister, or me more?"

I have also heard couples quarreling, and one party asked the other: "Do you love me or your mother?"

The question is, is love like a cake?Cut more here and leave less there.Or can love express [-]% to several objects at the same time?
Once on TV, I saw a poor black mother put her arms around a group of her children and said: "I am poor, but fortunately I have many children and a lot of love. I can give each of them [-]% of life, and I can also give them every [-]% personal love. Love is life!"

Love is life, life is for love!We show [-]% love when we can sacrifice our lives for what we love, because [-]% of our lives are sacrificed.However, we only have one body, but we may have many "loves of life and death", so we often have to leave a flock of sheep and find another lost sheep.Like the mother who dropped one child, went to another, and went back to this one.

Perhaps this is the contradiction of love!Instead of hating ourselves for having too much love, but only having one body and one life, we should say: "Thank God, although I have a body, I can have a lot of love, love myself, love relatives, love friends, love the earth. , Love life. Every love is true and complete. And the more you love, the deeper, forever and ever..."

Heart mark notes
If you want to ask: Is there any love that is selfless in this world?The answer is "yes", that is the love of parents for their children.In this world, only the love of parents is constantly giving without repaying.Love for children is a part of the life of parents, life is inseparable, and this love is also inseparable.

In the hearts of parents, love is selfless dedication, and they devote themselves wholeheartedly to love for their children, even if they sacrifice their lives for love.Parental love creates strength.With the love of parents, you will have happiness, and you will have a wonderful and beautiful life.
