[00:01.19]Love Without Measure 无条件的爱 [00:05.89]Freda Bright says,“Only in opera do people die of love.” [00:11.69]It’s true. You really can’t love somebody to death. [00:16.17]I’ve known people to die from no love, [00:19.41]but I’ve never known anyone to be loved to death. [00:23.39]We just can’t love one another enough. [00:26.57]A heart-warming story tells of a woman [00:30.15]who finally decided to ask her boss for a raise in salary. [00:34.56]All day she felt nervous and apprehensive. [00:38.50]Late in the afternoon she summoned the courage to approach her employer. [00:43.85]To her delight, the boss agreed to a raise. [00:47.80]The woman arrived home that evening [00:50.68]to a beautiful table set with their best dishes. [00:54.25]Candles were softly glowing. [00:57.24]Her husband had come home early and prepared a festive meal. [01:02.35]She wondered if someone from the office had tipped him off, [01:06.83]or... did he just somehow know that she would not get turned down? [01:11.97]She found him in the kitchen and told him the good news. [01:15.91]They embraced and kissed, then sat down to the wonderful meal. [01:20.51]Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered note. [01:25.21]It read: “Congratulations, darling! I knew you’d get the raise! [01:30.79]These things will tell you how much I love you.” [01:34.29]Following the supper, her husband went into the kitchen to clean up. [01:39.10]She noticed that a second card had fallen from his pocket. [01:43.59]Picking it off the floor, she read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise! [01:49.72]You deserve it anyway! These things will tell you how much I love you.” [01:54.86]Someone has said that the measure of love is when you love without measure. [02:00.11]What this man feels for his spouse is total acceptance and love, [02:05.53]whether she succeeds or fails. [02:08.21]His love celebrates her victories and soothes her wounds. [02:12.36]He stands with her, no matter what life throws in their direction. [02:17.18]Upon receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa said: [02:21.88]“What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family.” [02:28.01]And love your friends. Love them without measure.
