And so it is very important for us to realize that love, to be true, has to hurt. I must be willing to give whatever it takes not to harm other people and, in fact, to do good to them. & x" e1 E/ H6 x- N- _' g, M) `

This requires that I be willing to give until it hurts.

所以我们应意识到爱也会带来痛苦,这一点很重要。我愿意付出我的爱,只要这爱不伤害他人,事实上反而对他人有好处。% l5 H- A' H1 x4 m

这就要求我愿意付出,直至它带来痛苦。* ~0 H. ^2 k4 f d! `+ j' D

否则我就没有真爱,而且我给周围的人带来的不是和平而是不公正。 |
