meditation on love - day 1

I decided to move from dreaming bout love and start rethink back on my fundamentals in love. For a couple of days,my journey entry will look back on love 101. This is my thoughts.

Day 1

"though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but I have no love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbals. and though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could move mountain,but have no love, I'm nothing"

I guess, love plays a big part in all of us. I have never seen a person living without love, even a very bad action sometimes is being done because of love. Let say a burglary, a person could be a burglar to feed their family, probably because he/she doesn't have any job. But because of love and a tight situation, they rob.

Love makes the world go round, love is the a basic program in human emotion. Without love we can not live.

Today my thought is the first rule of love. "Love suffers long and kind"

I guess it's true that without any sacrifice, love is worthless. A true love is when someone has given his life for the sake of others. Sacrifice plays a big part in loving someone. One time I read a story and it goes something like this.

"long time ago in China, lived a twin siblings, Chen and Chan. While Chen is a quite reserve guy, Chan is a very active kid. After they grown up, Chen studied hard and graduated from Law school, while Chan dropped out from school and start a gang of his own. After awhile, Chen was positioned as a judge in a district in China, while Chan is the gang leader of that district. Chan was distributing drugs, prostitutes and spirits illegally; he was a wanted man indeed. Chen never saw his brother since they went their separate way, until one day, Chan was caught by the law enforcer in the area.

And because it's a poor district, the government can only give one judge. At the trial Chen meet Chan. His long lost brother, with a different figures. Chan is now taller, his muscle is ripped, a tattoo on his left hand, a scar on his face shown that he fight a tough battle.Chen looked at him with compassion and brotherly love. When the jury states the decision and the sentences, Chen is paralyzed. The jury sentenced Chan to be shot to death. Saddened and trembled, Chen look deep into his law books and tries to find another way to free Chan. but there are no other way.

At the night before the execution, Chen visit Chan in the district jail. When he arrives at Chan's cell, he saw Chan sitting down and covering his eyes with his hands. After a long talk, he got up and leave the cell.

In the morning of the execution, the fire squad is ready to execute Chan. So they bring him to a wooden pole just outside the prison and tied him up. They cover his eyes. The firing squad fires, and bullets pierce down his flesh. And than, a moment of silence. A team of doctor is brought in to begin the autopsy on his body. After the autopsy finish, it just silence the doctor and the juries.

They found out that it was Chen that has been shot, they were so identical that no body could recognize him in the dark. It seems that when Chen visited Chan's cell that night, Chen is willing to took Chan's place. A sacrifice was made to show a brother that he's being loved."

This story just shout my mouth. This is a real love, a genuine love. Chen took Chan's place in the death sentence, even though Chen did nothing wrong. He would take Chan's place to show him, how much he love Chan.

I guess true love started with a sacrifice, without it there is no such thing as love. I learned that I have to sacrifice everything that I have; my self, my feelings, my time to show how much I love someone. Even when they reject my love, I have to sacrifice continuously to show that I really care and I truly love them or in this case, Her.

Love suffers long and kind......
