Love is the Answer to Every Question爱是每个问题的答案

love is the answer to every question. Why are we here? Love. Where do we come from? Love. How do we create world peace? Love.

It may sound overly simplistic to the modern human being, since we want to analyze and look for complex answers to questions. We don’t believe that life is simple: love.

In truth, what are anger, sadness, pain but the soul’s desire for love?

If we learn to love ourselves without reservation, and to love the world in the same way, the answer is simple. It is impossible, when filled with love, to be aggressive or hate-filled or violent.

When we know that we are beautiful and wonderful, we see the world through those eyes. We see the beauty and wonder in all things around us.

We don’t need to look outside ourselves for the love we seek. It has been there all along. It is the voice of our self-esteem. Self-love is saying no to abuse and betrayal. It is wanting the very best for yourself and accepting only that in your life. It is healing the wounds that you have carried all your life.Self-love is walking away from those who mistreat you, knowing that you deserve better. It is taking the risk to pursue the career that will bring you joy. It is listening to your own inner voice. It is trusting in yourself completely.

Self-love is following that little voice within that says, “Oh, I want to do that today.” Sometimes it means ignoring the voice of “shoulds” and “have-tos”. It is believing that, when you seek what you desire and fill yourself with joy, you will also be spreading that joy to those around you.

Love will fill you up, so you will know there is nothing missing in your life.

Love will lead you to every answer.

爱,是每个问题的答案。为什么我们身在此处?因为爱。我们来自何方?爱。我们如何创建世界和平?爱。

这种说法对于现代人或许显得过于简单化,因为我们对于任何问题都要深入透彻地分析,都要找到复杂的答案。我们不相信生活是简简单单的,而且种种难题的答案仅是一个“爱”字这么简单。

事实上,愤怒、悲伤、痛苦若非灵魂对爱的渴望又能是什么呢?

如果我们能无条件地爱自己,能够无条件地爱这个世界,答案就是简单的。如果心中充满爱,就不可能去侵略、去心怀仇恨、去施展暴力。

当我们看自己是美丽的,是美好的,我们就会带着同样的目光看周遭世界,我们就会在周围的一切中看到美,看到神奇。

我们无需将目光投向外界去搜寻爱。爱其实一直在我们自己的心里。那是我们自尊的声音。自爱是对虐待和背叛义正词严的拒绝。自爱是为自己追求最好的东西,只让它们伴你而行。自爱能治愈一直伴随你的累累伤痕。自爱是远离那些虐待你的人,她清楚你值得善待;是敢甘冒风险去追求能给你带来喜悦的事业;是倾听你内心的声音;是完全相信自己。

自爱是听从内心那微小的声音:“嗯,今天我要做这件事。”有时它意味着不去听“应该”和“必须”那些声音。自爱是相信当你追求自己的梦想并因此让自己充满喜悦时,你也能够将那喜悦之情传染给身边的每个人。

爱让你完满,于是你知道自己的人生没有缺憾。

爱会让你找到每个问题的答案。
