You Forgive, So You Love

段依然 武汉外国语学校初三

     Love is unusual, but on the other hand, it’s also ordinary. Everyone in the world can love someone, but not everyone can love him/her forever.
    Angel Clark was a real gentleman. He and Tess——a kind-hearted girl fell in love. They had a very sweet time together. But as most love scenes, the purest love like this rarely lasted for long. When Angel as much as she could, but time can change everything—she also hated Angel for he left her along for so many years.
    Socrates said: “There’s no distance between love and hate. They are just like conductor and insulator, no distinct limit.” Hate and love can exchange easily for a very small mistake. It’s really horrible.
    Maybe if Tess and Angel are not so intimate and not always want each other to be perfect, the tragedy will not happen.
    Our family has just moved to a new house. When the worker was doing tiling, my mother found that there were cracks between tiles, it seemed very unpleasant. She remembered that there isn’t any cracks in our neighbour’s house. Their wall looked pretty and tidy. So my mother asked the worker to do the same. The worker refused: “The beauty of his house will only last for a short while, but the beauty of your house will last for a long time. It’s winter now, when the summer comes, the tiles in your neighbour’s house will be broken, and then he must change the tiles. We have to leave some cracks between the tiles, so they will keep long and keep well.”
    The relationship between people is the same as that between the tiles. You should leave some cracks between you and your closest friend. If you didn’t, a very small mistake may break this love. The best way is let the forgiveness from your heart to fill the cracks, just like glue, to make you an your friend closer safely.
    Everyone in the world will make mistakes in some ways. When we are hurt by our closest friend, we should write them on the sands, when the wind of forgiveness blew, there will be nothing left.
Forgiveness is from love, love can’t grow without forgiveness. They are difficult to separate. Love is like seed, and forgiveness is like water, earth, sunshine……Seed is the start of new life, nothing can replace its great power. But also, you can never imagine a seed of rose grows beautifully in a desert.
    Nietzsche said that: “Forgiveness can help people get true love. It’s love but not time can cure any pain.”
    Angel didn’t forgive Tess. So he lost the person he loved most at last. It’s a tragedy. He made it himself. Love does not only exist between lovers, but also between you and your family members, your friends, and any one who loves you, any one who gives privilege to you, any one you love.
    There’s nothing can’t be forgave. We should understand, besides every person’s appearance, there is a smooth hand want to be held, there is a soft heart want to be understood. No matter how strict the life want them to be, but inside their hearts, there is something as soft as silk. So gorgive their mistakes, love their true hearts.
    Always leave cracks, always forgive, so you can always love and be loved.
