經典美文:愛的最大限度

特蕾莎修女在接受諾貝爾和平獎時曾說過:“你能爲促進世界和平做些什麼呢?回家愛你的家人吧。”

這是一個平凡的故事,也是一個感人的故事……

Freda Bright says, "Only in opera do people die oflove." It's true. You really can't love somebody todeath. I've known people to die from no love, butI've never known anyone to be loved to death. Wejust can't love one another enough.

A heart-warming story tells of a woman who finallydecided to ask her boss for a raise in salary. All dayshe felt nervous and apprehensive. Late in the afternoon she summoned the courage toapproach her employer. To her delight, the boss agreed to a raise.

The woman arrived home that evening to a beautiful table set with their best dishes. Candleswere softly glowing. Her husband had come home early and prepared a festive meal. Shewondered if someone from the office had tipped him off, or... did he just somehow know thatshe would not get turned down?

She found him in the kitchen and told him the good news. They embraced and kissed, then satdown to the wonderful meal. Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered note. Itread, "Congratulations, darling! I knew you'd get the raise! These things will tell you how much Ilove you."

Following the supper, her husband went into the kitchen to clean up. She noticed that asecond card had fallen from his pocket. Picking it off the floor, she read, "Don't worry about notgetting the raise! You deserve it anyway! These things will tell you how much I love you."

Someone has said that the measure of love is when you love without measure. What this manfeels for his spouse is total acceptance and love, whether she succeeds or fails. His lovecelebrates her victories and soothes her wounds. He stands with her, no matter what lifethrows in their direction.

Upon receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa said, "What can you do to promote worldpeace? Go home and love your family." And love your friends. Love them without measure.
