Happy feel of life

What is love? You must have no idea before you meet it, but after you met it you will say “Yes, it is like that” when you read love sentences below.

“You know you’re in love when you’re willing to share your cash-machine number.”
Elayne Boosler

“And in the end, the love we take will be equal to the love we make.”
The Beatles

“Love conquers all things – except poverty and toothache.”
Mae West

“The secret of love is seeking variety in your life together, and never letting routine chords dull the melody of your romance.”
Anon

When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face among a crowd of stars.

Yeats was abandoned into the hopeless love to Maud Gonne in his whole life, which inspired Yeats to write down many poems specially for Maud Gonne. Sometimes it was about beautiful love, and sometimes it was about desperate hate, but most it struggled between love and hate.

In the interview on Ellen DeGeneres’ U.S. chat show, 59-year-old Kristie Alley said: “I don’t want to be married but I want to have a love.” I think this is kind of attitude you will not have unless you have experienced a series of rich lives. Do you want to be married? Or do you just want to have a love? That’s an important question we need to ask ourselves, in order to make us face marriage clearly. Now my idea scenario is that be in love first, and then get married. At least now, I am looking forward marriage.

However, I admire Kristie Alley a bit for her such an attitude. Maybe subconsciously I think love is much more important than marriage. And it’s sure it is going to be the most perfect if we have both of them. But we always think too much about relationship between man and woman, such as if we can go a long way in the future, which sometimes brings us into some trouble. I hope to keep simple just like what Kristie Alley said: if somebody is in love and wants to be married, then let them be in love and married. what I want to add is that if they can’t get along well any more, just be apart and divorced. Of course the prerequisite is that we must consider responsibility and should not make rash decisions.

There is also a problem that not all the people have an awareness like that. If we care much what others say ourselves, we must be unhappy. More or less we live in others’ taste and lost ourselves. So I much admire those who have kind of absolute freedom.

There is no doubt that “Up” gets Animated Feature Film Award at 82nd Academy Awards(oscar) for its popularity and rich story. The two themes of this animated film are love and adventure, which are also the most important desires in my life. We are easily touched by love between Carl and Ellie, although there is nothing special in their usual life. However, it is a wonderful experience that two people got acquaintance, then familiar and known to each other, and finally get married. What is impressing, after 70 years when wife died, the husband hasn’t forgotten the promise he made to her in their childhood. That is “Love”, and the next is “Adventure”.

Carl refuses to move from the house he ever lived with Ellie, but one day he accidentally hits a worker that damaged his mailbox and is sentenced to move to a retirement home. So he plans to use many ballons to float his house and travel to Paradise Falls that he and Ellie ever dreamed to go to. That is the beginning of his adventure, in which he meets 8-year old boy named Russell and then encounters talking dogs Kevin. They travel and suffer a lot together, and make something funny.

As the Valentine’s day driving closer, love is the main subject here, I think we should widen the meaning of it, it’s not just for lovers, the love here is means much more. Therefore, I have got you a really good book here, original in French it is called “Monsieur Ibrahim et les fleurs du Coran”, in English “Monsieur Ibrahim and the Flowers of the Koran” written by Eric Emmanuel Schmitt, it’s a story of love!

Monsieur Ibrahim and the Flowers of the Koran is a dramatic monologue, but it reads readily like a dialogue-heavy novella. The story is told by Moïse, a Jewish boy growing up in Paris in the 1960s. He lives with his father, a fairly unsuccessful attorney; his mother abandoned them when Moïse was a baby. The person who becomes the real parent in his life, the one looking out for him and teaching him the lessons of life, is the neighbourhood grocer, Monsieur Ibrahim.

The story begins when Moïse is eleven. The first thing he recounts is how he breaks his piggy-bank in order to pay for the services of a prostitute. It’s part of the process of becoming a man (if wildly premature), but the more important step comes at about the same time, as he gets to know Monsieur Ibrahim better. The tale is an unlikely and, in large part, too simplistic one, but it’s an appealing story, and Schmitt presents many of the small scenes and encounters very well.Treacly, but with a surprising amount of charm.

Basically, this is that kind of book that can make your eyes full of tears, and actually warm your heart deeply. Hope you can really enjoying this with your friends and your family! Love, it can change everything; Smile, happiness is a footstep away!
