The best and most beautiful thing in the world cannot be seen or even touched. It must be felt with the heart, and that is love.
Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in the world. With this thought, I find myself a phenomenal girl. Even though not tall or beautiful, the love for myself makes me feel confident and happy every day. I try to appreciate everything around me- the people, the life I am living and the world that I am in and thus I have noticed how nice it is to love and be loved.
I can't forget grandma's response when my little cousin spilled honey all over her brand new carpet. Instead of blaming her, she just knelt down, looked tenderly into the little girl's tearful eyes and said: "Don't worry dear, we can get you more honey later." And we can all imagine how warm that little girl finds her heart is. See, those kind words are short and easy to say, but their echoes are truly endless. That's where the greatness of love lies.
I can still remember the poor little boy's thankful look when my big brother took him into the store and bought him a Christmas present. He was so surprised that he asked: "Are you God, sir?" "No, I am just one of his children." "Oh, I know you had to be some relation." and I see this as what love means to be. The love we give away is the only love we keep.
So don't be so mean only to bury your love in the corner of your heart. When living in the world that is full of terror and war, doubt and sorrow it's everyone's duty to send their love to themselves and to others. If your love can stop one heart from breaking, if your love can ease one life from aching or cool one pain, if your love can help one fainting robin onto his nest again, you are not living in vain. And I am sure the spreading love is the only way to save and heal the world as well as ourselves.
