纯属个人意见

身为一个怀旧的人，我常活在过去的记忆里。当一切人事已非，我总怀恋过去，haha.. 所以我收了很多照片。中学时，曾因喜欢一个基督教的女生，而很接近认识基督教。她曾经对我说过“hope you continue to be a blessing to others, like you did to me", 也许她也忘了，但我还记得。这句话总鼓励我当一个好人。最近复活节时，偶然看到这圣经的一部分 1 Corinthians 13
，觉得挺有意思的，所以分享。我不是基督教徒，所以不懂里面的Love是指爱情或大爱。

如果是指大爱，那就和佛教的“慈悲”，有异曲同工之妙。慈悲喜舍。慈是与众生乐，悲是拔众生苦，喜是法本净喜，舍是离一切执。 四无量心是指菩萨普度众生所应具备的四种精神──. 慈无量心、悲无量心、喜无量心、舍无量心。

《无量义经》中说到我们应该："能舍一切诸难舍，财宝妻子及国城，于法内外无所吝，头目髓脑悉施人。" 圣经说："If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing."

如果是指爱情，我觉得圣经把爱情解释得很透彻，尤其是这段"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

1 Corinthians 13

 ¹ If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. ² If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. ³ If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

 ⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰ but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. ¹¹ When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. ¹² For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

¹³ And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
