包容一切的爱情

A  woman finally decided to ask her boss for a raise in salary. All day she felt nervous and apprehensive. Late in the afternoon she summoned the courage to approach 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. Candles were softly glowing. Her husband had come home early and prepared a festive meal. She wondered if someone from the office had tipped him off, or... did he just somehow know that she would not get turned down?

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

Following the supper, her husband went into the kitchen to clean up. She noticed that a second card had fallen from his pocket. Picking it off the floor, she read, "Don't worry about not getting 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 man feels for his spouse is total acceptance and love, whether she succeeds or fails. His love celebrates her victories and soothes her wounds. He stands with her, no matter what life throws in their direction.

Upon receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa said, "What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family." And love your friends. Love them without measure.（Source: Internet）

Melly said there are two kinds of starvation in the world. One for food, the other is for love. In terms of love, the more one gives, the more he will receive.

这里Melly的境界还是基督的Level，佛教已经上升到给的时候是不思索回报的。

林贝卡的文章讲包容，想想，比佛教还要上升一层：给不给都一样，都一样好。----这大概就是世间讲的最高境界了：无嗔。

Very touched by the story.

Agree with melly as well, love between spouse should be uncondiitonal and this love from spouse is a source, this love and happiness will spread and soft people's heart.

Thanks, 贝卡, like your new ID picture,

There are two kinds of starvation in the world. One for food, the other is for love. In terms of love, the more one gives, the more he will receive. Sometimes, I think love between spouse is also somehow unconditional.

Very inspiring. thanks for share.
