Chapter 80 Love and Hate
[United States] Liu Yong
She raised her head to listen, her face gradually softened, she shrank her neck, waved her hand again, and entered the elevator.

At the gate of the building, I saw several neighbor wives.One of them was holding a vegetable basket in one hand, pointing to the east and west with the other, and was talking about things excitedly. I was curious to hear what wronged her.

"I'm really unlucky today." She saw me and turned around, "I went shopping and saw a woman in a wheelchair with a four or five-year-old child, holding a box in her hand, as if she was selling something; No one cares about them, only blame me, curious, go and have a look. It turns out that they sell pencil erasers, and the things are not very good, and they are not cheap, so I left." She gave me a look, "You know what? That little girl I recognized me, followed me all the way, and kept asking: "Why don't you buy it? Why don't you buy it?" I told her well before, because my aunt doesn't need it. But believe it or not? This little girl doesn't listen, her attitude It's getting worse and worse, first pulling my clothes, then pulling my food basket, shouting loudly: "Why don't you buy things with my mother?" The police. The little devil let go."

"Then why are you angry?" I asked.

"I feel frustrated! I was in a good mood early in the morning. I was ruined by such a brat. I'm still angry now. I didn't expect to be so unreasonable when I was only four or five years old. When I grow up, I won't be a robber?" She said with a livid face.

I smiled and shook my head: "How pitiful!"

"I'm poor, aren't you!" The lady curled her lips at me.

"No! It's that little girl." I said, "Think about it, if you were the one in the wheelchair today, and your daughter was with you, and the disabled mother begged everyone to buy her things, but no one would pay attention. Finally, an aunt came to see her, and she felt hopeful, but the aunt turned her head and left. If your daughter was a four or five-year-old girl, would she be very sad and anxious? Think again. , If you were that child, would you rush over to pull someone over and ask why they didn’t buy it? The family is poor! The mother is sick! The little heart is anxious because of helplessness, and the anxiety is unreasonable. What is not pity?"

She raised her head to listen, her face gradually softened, she shrank her neck, waved her hand again, and entered the elevator.

Heart mark notes
When you think about love and hate, it depends on what angle you look at the problems in life, what kind of mentality you use to judge people and things, be more tolerant, considerate, and think about problems from the perspective of the other party. Hate and disgust will turn into Love and appreciate.

Browning said: "The earth without love is like a grave." The greatest thing created by heaven is not everything, not the universe, but love.So, open the door of your heart, let love enter, warm others with warm sunshine, and at the same time, illuminate yourself.
