Like and love

To tell you the truth, I don't like my hometown, but I do love it. May the former not be a crime, and the latter not an honor. The great philosopher said, "Man is thrown into the world," so he has the right not to like a place "thrown into." But I really hope that my hometown can become so popular, and willing to pay a small contribution.

However, I do like the food in my hometown, but come to think of it, I really don't love it. Like it, one is used to, two is that it is really good color smell. Don't love it, means I really don't want to do anything for it; For one thing, it has cost us so much money and effort. For another, it has destroyed the ecology and even wiped out some species.

Like but not love, love but do not like, it can be seen that love and love are not the same thing. Like, is to see something good or even very good, followed by the idea of possession. Love is to see something bad or not good enough, in fact, hope that it is good to very good, and then the incentive is willing to give.

Nietzsche's "love of fate" also implies the difference between the two. Must you like your lot? But love it anyway; Treat the things you like with love as well as the things you don't like. All reality, will not all let people like, so there will be ideal. Love is ideal, is to make bad or not good enough things better, there is a "superman" color. Liking is satisfaction, satisfaction, or even no higher expectations, blindly satisfied or satisfied unless you are a fool, is a sign of "the end."

Take like as love, easy to make a thief pretend to be a lover. Think that love you can not accuse you, can not oppose you, will mistake the lover for the enemy. Therefore, don't tie love and love together. For those who hold up the banner of love -- as big as patriotism, as small as love -- and praise and brag, if you look closely, you will see their covetousness.

Can love also have covetousness? For example, gold digger, which does not claim to be "love"? Could patriots also be greedy? From ancient to modern corrupt officials, who do not say that he is a "patriot"? Neither is love but mere liking, neither is "willing to give" but merely "wanting to possess". What to like and what to possess? The former points to the material benefit, the latter also has a good name.

Love, the pursuit of both like and love. Both is a rare ideal state, so love is an ideal. And marriage, there is mutual love on the line, like fading days are maintained by a paper contract, so it has been downgraded from the pursuit of ideal to legal supervision. A happy family, on the one hand, needs pragmatic housekeeping -- inviolable two-person system, and the economic management of daily necessities, if it is disorderly, the family will be brought to the brink of disintegration; On the other hand, there must be vain ideals or beliefs -- love, if it weakens, disappears or never exists, the family is dead, even if maintained is a strange bed. What about patriotism? Is that similar?

But is the ideal of love just the ideal of two people? What love could there be between a man and a woman born on a lonely island? At best, it's a matter of life and death. The love on the island, there must be mainland or people as the background - they are either eager to return to the mainland, or the original is to avoid the harm of the crowd. In short, only in the crowd, or with the crowd as its background, love can be born, ideal can not die. Having men and women without people is like having seeds without sun and earth. Love, so is the symbol of universal love, is the kindling of Datong, is the realization of an ideal in the unsatisfactory reality, is a partial success of "Babel". Love, like art, is "the child of the night", "the cold of the morning", "the stair of the abyss", "the child of the darkness, waiting for the sun"; Love is so, so is patriotism, how can human beings make a border to confuse it!

The children of good families, since childhood to get such education: to care for others, to treat others sincerely, to be understanding, to learn from others modestly... How to grow up, see the country, the nation, often the opposite attitude in the fanfare? Still don't understand the difference between "like" and "love". Do not love, only patriotic, material is just covet its name, more real purpose inconvenience guess. Love, so patriotic, that also won't by disparaging neighbors to publicize themselves -- is that the idea?
