Life is to give and to be given
" Life is to give and to be given. "
A proverb of the Mohawks
I hope you are having happy new days in 2013.
As this blog started in 2003, this is the 10th year of my small efforts for making the world better. The way to a peaceful world is sure to be long and winding, and I know all I can do is just do whatever I can do. That's all I learned in the past 10 years.
I spent this new year's day with my family. My mother, father, husband, brother, sister and their spouses. I know how much love my mother and father have given me since I was born. I wonder how much I have been given by my family, my relatives, my friends, neighbors and teachers since I was a child. Above all, the nature feeds my body and soul.
Now I wonder what I can give to all.
How much love can I give them back?
I have been given too much,
so I have to give so that I can complete my life.
Life is to give and to be given.
What can you give to the world?
