Today's topic: Writer ALai said when talking about writing, "The essence of writing is love, the love of relatives, the love of the opposite sex, the love of human beings, the love of the land, the love of mountains and rivers. What do you think is the "love" that Alai refers to? How do you understand it?
Speaking of love, this reminds me of a saying: those who love to return, and those who are blessed to come.
This quote comes from the Han Dynasty Jia Yi's "New Book", the original text is: "Zou Mugong died, Zou's people, if they lose their loving father, they will cry for three months." Neighbors of the Four Realms are Zou People, Soldiers and Villagers Cry, Hold Hands and Walk Worriedly... Therefore, those who love to come out love to return, and those who are blessed to come are blessed. ”
The best love should be the result of a "causal cycle". In the Buddhist path, it is said that "one leaf and one bodhi, one flower and one world", which is basically a kind of "self-altruism", but "self-altruism" seems to be contradictory, but it is not opposite, but harmonious and unified.
Helping others and benefiting others is the real self-interest.
It is also said in English: "Helping others is helping ourselves."
Love is the origin of life and the ultimate perfect destination.
And words are just a tool to express love and spread it. Therefore, the writer Alai said that "the essence of writing is love", expressing that the best purpose of "writing" is not to "sensationalize", but to create with a heart of love, to convey the love of relatives, the love of the opposite sex, the love of the country to the people, and the love of all things, mountains, grass and trees, and nature.
Love is an instinct. For example, the love for parents, the love for children, but the way of love is different, this is small love.
We say: There is no stability of the country and there is no happiness of home. The happiness and well-being of our little family is just someone carrying the weight for us.
Maybe we don't have much noble love, but our words can spread love and send positive energy. The lover loves to return, write my heart with my hand, and there is love in my heart! Nourish yourself and everyone around you with love, and fill the world with love and kindness.
“Helping others is helping ourselves.”
May we all be gentle with this world!
