freda bright says, "only in opera do people die of love." it's true. you really can't love somebody to death. i've known people to die from no love, but i've never known anyone to be loved to death. we just can't love one another enough.

a heart-warming story tells of a woman who 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.原文鏈接：http://www.yeeyan.com/articles/view/55675/32974/dz

 

弗雷達.布萊特提到：“只有在歌劇藝術中，人們才會為愛情而獻身?！边@一點的確無可厚議。你肯定不會因為去愛戀某人而去玩命。我曾知曉有些人確實是因為沒有被深愛而走上不歸路，但是卻從未聽說過有些人是因為被人愛戀而棄世。我們只是對彼此沒有足夠多的深愛而已。

一則另人溫馨的故事，是關于一個女人最終決定向她的老板開口要求增加薪水的小事。在那一天里，她感覺內心十分緊張而又心神不安。那天下午晚些時候，她鼓足了勇氣走向她的老板，告訴了對方自己的想法。另她喜出望外的是，老板同意了她有關加薪的請求。

那天晚上，她回到家中，迎來的是一桌她們家最豐盛的大餐。蠟燭閃著柔和的光芒，在那里閃耀著。她的男人提早趕回到家中然后親手為她準備了節日般的大餐。她很意外，就如同有人提前告知了她老公自己加薪的好事，或者是他不知怎么地就能預感到，她向老板開口一事并不會遭到拒絕？

她在廚房里面撞見了她男人然后告訴了他關于自己加薪的好消息。他們擁抱彼然、互相親吻然后開始坐下來享受美妙的食物。在她的餐盤旁邊，這女人找到了一張有著漂亮字跡的便條。上面寫著：“祝賀你，親愛的！我早知道你肯定會被加薪的！我為你準備的這份晚餐就是用來證明我有多么深愛著你的?！?/p>

吃過晚餐，她的男人去廚房忙著收拾東西。女人注意到另一張從她丈夫衣兜里漏掉的便條。她從地板上拾起來，看到：“加薪這事情就不要操心了！不管怎么說，你本來就應得到那份薪水的！我為你準備的這份晚餐就是用來證明我有多么深愛著你的?！?/p>

曾有人說過，看你愛一個人到底有多少，只需要看你在這份感情投入中不計較的有多少。這個男人對她是否能被加薪并不在乎，無論有與沒有，他都完全能接受結果并深愛妻子。他用自己的愛和妻子分享那份喜悅而且撫平了她此前內心的憂慮。他與她攜手共進退，不在乎明天的是與非。
