The poet Tagore once said, "He who picks petals does not receive beauty." The reason is not that the flowers are not beautiful, but that the flower pickers do not understand the true meaning of love.
In the park, if a child picks flowers, I am afraid that most parents will stop her and tell her that the flowers are for everyone to enjoy, and after being picked, they will wither, but lose the original brilliance of the flowers.
When educating children, we often tell him that good things should be shared with others and cannot be selfish, so that he will be happy and make more friends.
When in love, we often give our best things to the people we love the most, and do not ask for returns, but it is easier to get happiness and get happiness.
Do we have to get love first, or do we have to give love first?
The writer Wilde is a representative of aestheticism, and in the book "The Selfish Giant" tells such a story about how to love.
Wilde has shown a very beautiful side in many of his works, the goodness of human nature, the sincerity of love, and the truth, goodness and beauty of the world.
Wilde once said, "Not for children, but for childlike people between the ages of eighteen and eighty."
The heart, for Wilde, is the most important, it means love and sympathy, it means morality that comes spontaneously from the human heart, not rigid morality.
Wilde's work does not clarify who is right and who is wrong, but only shows the multifaceted nature of man.
And the perfect Wilde wrote about the goodness and beauty of man through his works!
First, selfish people cannot see goodness
In our lives, we will meet this kind of person, only see themselves in the eyes, and only think of themselves in their hearts, just like the giants in "The Selfish Giant", never feel the ideas of others, listen to the suggestions of others, he talks to friends until all the words are finished, and this chat is 7 years.
Have you ever met such a person, when you are unhappy, you blacken your face, you don't like to answer anyone, and you talk like you have eaten gun medicine.
When you are happy, whether you want to listen to him or not, whether others are doing things or not, whether they have time to listen to him, selfish people can't see it, as long as they are happy.
The giants in "The Selfish Giant" only care that this is their own garden, and they can't see the beautiful scenery that the children bring to the garden.
He chased away the children and built a tall and wide wall over the garden.
The wall blocks all the beauty, and at the same time closes itself up, can't see the outside world, and only lives between the sky and the earth in the garden.
When one cannot see the wider sky, one cannot find the beauty of everything in the world, and everyone is actually just a small existence of all things in this world.
It is because of love that people become great, and because of seeing, life becomes beautiful.
Second, with a closed heart, the world will become desolate
We are sometimes very distressed, why do we not always feel love? Thinking that no one loves themselves, thinking that people are too selfish now, is not that you have not received love, but that you have closed the heart that feels love and have not felt love.
A person who does not know how to give love, the love in his heart is also barren, and he does not know how to give love to others.
If we are in a world without love, even if the outside world is full of flowers, the grass is long and warblers, and the green is dripping, our eyes are still a vast, desolate, and the heart will not be warm, like a giant.
In life, if we want to feel warmth, we must first open our hearts to give love to others, and while giving love, we are also warming ourselves, because love is mutual.
Have you ever had a couple in your life where they always argue when they're together about who's better first?
The woman said, "You have to be nice to me first, and then I'm good to you!" You're not good to me, don't think I'm good to you! ”
The man was not at all convinced: "Why should you be good to you first?" ”
No one is willing to take the initiative to do more for each other, otherwise they all feel that their identity has been reduced, and the woman feels that he has become a maid of men, and the man feels that he will be very faceless.
Then tragedy finally came. The man and another woman met and fell in love, under the love of this woman's complete dedication, the man realized the profound truth that "love is mutual slave", and wholeheartedly gave selfless dedication to the woman he loved, and at the same time felt the beauty of love and the warmth of his heart.
One day the man's ex-girlfriend was willing to give up the female dignity to find him, but the man's love for her had reached the end and could not turn back.
Life is like this, love can not be unilaterally asked, nor can it weigh a few pounds and weigh a few pounds, and then trade fairly.
Love is selfless, sincere, and dedicated. When you give love to others, you can see happiness. This is also the greatness of love.
The heart is a window given by God, and that is where the sun can shine in
The selfish giant sat by the window, looking out at the cold, snow-white garden. "I don't understand why spring hasn't come so late." He said, "I hope the weather will change. ”
"The Selfish Giant" uses very vivid language to describe the cold of winter and the wanton behavior of snow, frost, north wind, and hail to express the desolate feeling in the heart of the giant.
To find love is to find life, is to constantly find oneself in life. We need to open our hearts that have been closed, and then we try to grow upwards, not only so that the world can see us, but also so that we can see the whole world.
When the giant saw a spring view in the garden through the window, and when he went to the garden, he saw the children playing on the branches, the birds singing, and there were flowers and willows everywhere, and the giant really felt the moving scene.
The giant's heart softened, and he regretted his selfish behavior.
When we move forward step by step, we will find that every bit of progress is making our lives vast.
Only when your life becomes vast will you find that you actually have more, and that the world also has people you need to love.
The giant's heart was opened, and the sun warmed his heart.
In the movie "Return to Twenty", the seventy-year-old lady Shen Mengjun, the older she gets, the bigger her temper, and gradually, no one wants to live with her.
After the daughter-in-law Yang Qin was ill and admitted to the hospital due to excessive pressure, Shen Mengjun was finally sent to a nursing home by her family, and in anger and sadness, Shen Mengjun decided to leave her last face in the photo studio.
In the blink of an eye, The wrinkled Shen Mengjun became a twenty-year-old young girl Meng Lijun, and Shen Mengjun, who regained her youth, not only experienced the opportunities and vitality brought by youth, but also tasted the sour taste of love. However, just when she was immersed in the illusion of happiness and could not extricate herself, an accident threw her to the crossroads of life.
Her grandson was in a car accident and needed a blood transfusion, and at this time, Mrs. Shen was the only one who could give her grandson a blood transfusion, and after the blood transfusion, she would return to the age of 70, and now everything beautiful would be lost.
However, she did not hesitate to come to the hospital.
In the corridor of the hospital, his son asked her, "Do you know a woman named Shen Mengjun?" She was very beautiful when she was young, but her husband died very early, leaving her and the child who had just turned one year old, she had suffered a lot in order to pull the child up, and she had done all kinds of rough work, because the child was weak and sick from childhood, she was afraid of not being able to feed him, and gave him a nickname called the plug, and whenever the child was seriously ill, she held the child and shouted: "Little plug, little plug, you must tie your life, she gave everything to this child, but in the end this filial piety child was sent to a nursing home."
If you know her, please tell her not to return to this family, not to marry this short-lived husband, not to have this filial piety child. Don't mend shoes and sew clothes for that filial child. If her life could be repeated, then don't live it this time. There you go! My children I saved myself. ”
The young old lady Shen said with tears: "It is impossible, if her life can be repeated again, she still lives like this, because then I can be your mother, and you can be my son." ”
In the end, everything returned to the original point, the grandson's life was saved, she did not go to the nursing home, and the family watched TV and chatted happily.
The giant, too, watches the children play happily in the garden every day, which is the most beautiful scenery he sees in the world!
No matter what kind of environment you are in, no matter how many years of baptism you have experienced, love is a lifelong subject in our souls, because love makes us grow and makes us warm.
Open the window of the door of the heart, let the sunshine of love shine in, and warm yourself to illuminate others.
Fourth, you are my ignorant child, and you are also a light when I get lost
Our growth stumbles along the way, sometimes like a lost child, lost at a fork in the road in life.
If you get lost in life, don't be afraid, because there will always be someone who will reach out to you, light up the light of life for you, and help you illuminate the future.
What you have to do is be brave to take the next step, don't rest on your laurels, don't let yourself live as a lonely child, self-pity, lose the courage to live, lose the dream of creating the future, lose the opportunity to light the lights for others.
The selfish giant accepted the children, and the children became the giants' best friends. They are full of love, illuminating each other's world and warming the whole world.
A news article titled "Hangzhou Library Opens to Homeless People, Scavengers Consciously Wash Their Hands Before Borrowing" attracted the attention of many people.
The content is roughly to say that the Hangzhou Library has insisted for ten years, open to homeless people and scavengers, allowing them to enter the library to read, but the only requirement for them is to "wash their hands".
Netizens have praised this, calling Hangtu "the warmest library in history".
This warmest library is like the beautiful garden of giants, children playing, birds singing, flowers dancing, and the wind swaying.
The appearance of an old man in the library who read the newspaper carefully made many netizens moved, many people praised his spirit of pursuing knowledge, and the old man unconsciously became an Internet celebrity in Hangzhou City.
This old man who read the newspaper carefully and was eager for knowledge was hit by a taxi when crossing the road, and finally died of ineffective rescue and left everyone's sight.
After the old man's death, his story was revealed one by one, and his legacy shocked the world.
The old man's real name is Wei Sihao, a graduate of the Chinese Department of LaoHang University in the 1960s, and was a first-level teacher in a middle school before retirement. With a monthly pension of more than 5,000 yuan, he should have had a happy old age, but his life was tight, and he had to pick up garbage to live.
It turned out that the old man saved money and donated all the money to the poor students.
Among the relics of the old man, there is nothing valuable, but each one is priceless: yellowed donation vouchers, aid registration cards for the Hope Project, and letters from the children who are helped by tears.
In each letter, there are the results of the last exam of the assisted children. Elder Wei Sihao is also paying attention to the children's learning.
The old man never skimped on donations, but he was extremely harsh on himself. The house he lived in was uniformly allocated by the education system many years ago, and the house is still rough at the time of delivery, without any decoration, and even the lighting is the kind of small lamp on the construction site. There was no furniture in the house except for a wooden bed, and everyone who saw it wept bitterly for the old man.
The old man was very harsh on himself all his life, living a poor life, but he distributed his full love to those children who were in difficulty.
The kindness of the elderly Wei Sihao is not limited to this, he decided more than a decade ago to donate his body and all available organs after his death, and also signed a voluntary form for the donation of the body.
A bamboo pole, a pair of white sneakers stained black by mud, two pockets behind the shoulders, through the plastic bags, plastic bottles and jars are faintly visible, this is the impression that Teacher Wei gave everyone before he died.
He seems depressed, wandering on the edges of life, but his soul is prosperous and pure, and he knows the true meaning of love better than anyone.
In The Selfish Giant, it is written that the child smiled at the giant: "You let me play once in your garden." Today you will follow me to my garden, and that is heaven. ”
May everyone have a vibrant, spring-filled garden in their hearts, may everyone open the door of their hearts and feel the warmth of the sun, may everyone have God's kiss and go to the garden of heaven.
Regardless of the ending of The Selfish Giant, I will respect the author's ideas. Everyone has the right to pursue what they "want", but they can't want it all, they have to want it all, they have to satisfy themselves first, and such "wanting" is selfish.
We can actively share with others while we want and get it, and maybe happiness is so simple and happy that it is doubled back to you.
When one day, we are in our own garden, sitting on a wicker chair, with a cup of tea in hand, quietly watching the children play, laughing heartily from time to time, just a little bit to make ourselves slowly grow old, it is also a kind of happiness!
When you are alone, you can listen to the sound of the wind and the rain; when you are a group of people, you can talk and laugh.
It's up to you to decide what kind of scenery you want to see. If you have immeasurable beings in your heart, your food, clothing, and living are all practices; if your heart can only hold you alone, then no matter how great your merit or career is, you will not be able to achieve yourself.
"The Selfish Giant" lets us see that love is giving, but also the beauty of the heart, when you meet more beautiful, you will also meet a better self!
May we all be brave enough to love others and be treated with tenderness by others, and let the warm light spread to every corner of the world!
