愛是我們最深刻的情感體驗,也是人生的重要組成部份。但如果帶著要求去尋找愛,我們將會失去自由。尋到的不是愛,而是互相束縛。
要求與愛是互相衝突的。愛這個詞經常被誤用,變成索取的同義詞,於是引發很多糾紛和不幸。實際上,真正的愛不是索取利益,也不是利益的交換。它甚至不帶任何期待。
為了得到回報才給予,就像摘下一朵花插在瓶裡一樣,只會讓花朵很快失色。而心甘情願的給予,彼此就像大自然中的植物,能自由吸收空氣和養份,自然地開出清新純凈的花朵,一起芬芳溢滿。
愛是心甘情願的給予,所以不是一種交換,也不求回報。心甘情願,意味著我們已經得到了很多,感到滿足和感恩。或者,我們覺得別人和自己一樣重要,所以願意將自己擁有的東西給予別人。歸根究柢,我們之所以不期待回報,是因為接受我們已經是對我們最大的回報。
不期待回報並不代表我們甚麼都得不到,凡事都會有結果。無論給予甚麽,我們都會得到回報,只是無法確定回報是甚麼,以及它將會如何到來。然而,如果我們去愛,就一定會得到愛的回報,因為彼此相愛是人生的共同目標。透過彼此相愛,生命變得更加完整,讓我們體驗到真正的幸福與豐富。
愛是構築人際關係的基石,也是人生的寶貴財富。相信愛的力量,我們就能勇敢去愛,品嘗愛的美妙的果實。然而,我們必須明白,彼此相愛才是真愛的唯一明證,而單方面的付出是沒有前途的。由欲望或自我想像驅動的給予,都是佔有而不是真正的愛。

The path to Tranquility (4)
Loving each other is the common goal of life
Love is our deepest emotional experience and an essential part of life. But if we look for love with demands, we will lose our freedom. What we find is not love, but bondage to each other.
Demand and love are in conflict with each other. The word love is often misused and becomes a synonym for asking, which leads to many disputes and misfortunes. In fact, true love is not about asking for benefits, nor is it an exchange of benefits. It doesn’t even come with any expectations.
Giving in order to receive something in return is like picking a flower and putting it in a vase, it will only make the flower lose its color quickly. And giving willingly, each other is like plants in nature, able to absorb air and nutrients freely, and naturally bloom fresh and pure flowers, overflowing with fragrance together.
Love is given willingly, so it is not about exchanging and does not expect anything in return. Being able to give willfully means that we have already received a lot, and are overflowing with satisfaction. Or, we feel that others are as important as us, so we are willing to give others what we have. Ultimately, the reason why we do not expect returns in terms of interests is because accepting our giving is already the greatest return for us.
Love is given willingly, so it is not an exchange and does not expect anything in return. Being willing means that we have received a lot and feel satisfied and grateful. Or, we feel that others are as important as ourselves, so we are willing to give others what we have. Ultimately, the reason why we don't expect anything in return is because accepting us is already the greatest reward for us.
Not expecting anything in return doesn’t mean we get nothing, everything will have results. Whatever we give, we receive in return, we just can’t be sure what that return will be and how it will come. However, if we love, we will definitely receive love in return, because loving each other is the common goal of life. Through loving each other, life becomes more complete and we experience true happiness and abundance.
Love is the cornerstone of human relationships and a precious asset in life. Believing in the power of love, we can love bravely and taste the wonderful fruits of love. However, we must understand that loving each other is the only proof of true love, and unilateral giving has no future. Giving driven by desire or self-imagination is possessiveness rather than true love.
