The path to Tranquility (spring)
46. Love is a powerful influence
Love is a powerful influence that can impact our lives from the inside out.
When we have love, we feel confident, joyful, and fulfilled. At the same time,
love can also influence our behavior and attitude, allowing us to spread love
to more people.
Love is the most important need within us, and a lack of it can make people feel debilitated, like living on the streets and surviving in scarcity. Inner lack is a sign of lack of love. Scientific planting can feed a person's body, but it is difficult to enrich a heart that lacks love. After the body is well fed, the emptiness of the soul is highlighted, because we always yearn for a higher level of satisfaction.
Science has developed the potential to acquire material things, which satisfy our basic needs for them, but it cannot provide love. Love is the ability to give, and the ability to give is limited by our hearts. The emptier the spirit, the less willing we are to give and therefore the less we can love.
However, without love, we cannot feel the richness of life and will always feel that it is not enough. From material to spiritual, from wealth to respect, we always pursue more and more. Not only are we unwilling to give, we also forget that the accumulated things will become our burden. The less we love, the more we want to take rather than give, and the imbalance between body and mind becomes more serious.
Newton said this famous saying in his later years: "I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people." To study the human mind, love is a prerequisite. Only by understanding love can we know that the madness of people's hearts stems from the lack of love, and that love also has a trajectory.
A loving person will show concern through his smile or eyes, or will not hesitate to lend a helping hand when others are in need. From these phenomena and behaviors, we will find the influence of love from the inside out, just like gravity of stars, allowing life to support each other and generate huge energy. Love affects our emotions, cognition, thoughts and actions, thereby affecting our interpersonal relationships and enabling us to realize the value of life.
Studying the stars or studying the mind is not an easy task, but practicing love is not difficult. We only need to understand the definition of love and act bravely to unleash the power of love. Love means understanding, caring, and respecting each other, and giving what the other person needs on this basis. When we sincerely cooperate and share with others, we are practicing love. The influence of love is reflected in each other's efforts, that is, our joint creation.
