Love is not everything

Việt Văn |

There is a period in life where most of us once thought love was the center of the universe. When in love, a five-minute reply message can cause your mood to decline faster than stock prices on a crisis day. An unintentional look is enough to make your heart happy as if you just won the lottery. And a saying goodbye sometimes makes people feel like the end of the world has come. That is very normal. Humans tend to exaggerate the importance of what is bothering their hearts the most. Just like when you have a toothache, you think your whole body is just left with a tooth. When you are heartbroken, you think your whole life is just left with sadness.

But time is a great teacher, when it does not argue with us, does not try to prove our mistakes, but just silently passes by. Then one day, after months and years that seemed unovercome, we still wake up, still eat breakfast, still go to work, still laugh with friends, still worry about electricity and water bills, still have headaches because of work and still get annoyed because our weight does not decrease as desired.

At that time, we realize a simple truth that love is very important, but it has never been the whole life. Human life is like a big picture. Including family, friends, health, trips, books, peaceful afternoons, unfinished dreams, kind things we give to others and even times we learn how to love ourselves. Love is just a piece, maybe beautiful, even very beautiful, but not the whole picture. But when in love, people often make a very lovely mistake of taking a corner of the picture and thinking it is the whole world and giving all the color and joy to one person, even giving the right to decide their happiness to another person.

When someone leaves, we often think that the whole picture of our life has been torn apart. In fact, it's just a piece that changes its position. The sky, the road and the people who love us are still there. And if you look closely, each person who appears in life brings a lesson about love, maturity, gratitude and even their own limits.

The most beautiful thing is not trying to keep everything, but knowing how to cherish what has happened. Whether short or long, happy or sad, all contribute to creating people today. Wise people do not keep the old things forever, but know how to smile at past memories and cherish the present.

He was thinking non-stop like a philosopher when his phone vibrated violently, the girl he just met this afternoon, 20 years younger than him, texted asking if he was free tonight to go see a romantic movie. He intended to say yes but then texted again: I'm busy. Too bad!
