时间是爱的养料
Express Your Love, Don’t Buy It
佚名 Anonymous
Many times, the small things in life, which we often ignore, are
more important than the ones that we consider far more valuable.
This theme is highlighted in Kenny Rogers’ song “Buy Me a Rose”. In
his song, he insists on the fact that the expression of love plays
a significant role in a relationship. However, many people seem to
ignore this fact and assume that love can be expressed through
wealth and riches.
In his song, Kenny Rogers narrates the story of a wife whose
husband loves her very much. However, she thinks that the way her
husband shows her his love is not appropriate. According to her
husband, the best way of showing his love to his wife is by
providing her with all the wealth and comforts of life.
Consequently, he works hard day and night and is thus not able to
devote any of his time to her. His wife, however, argues that this
is not what she wants. All she wants for him is to show her more
affection by giving her more of his time, caring for her and by
expressing his feelings for her. These are the things that she
yearns for in her life and not the big, flashy things that he has
given her.
“Buy me a rose, call me from work,
Open a door for me, what would it hurt?
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes,
These are the little things I need the most in my life.”
To her, these are all the things that can bring her maximum joy
and happiness. Although her husband loves her very much, his way of
showing his love for her is creating distances between the two. And
as time passes by, the distance keeps increasing.
This song expresses how we lead our lives in today’s world and
how we think that it takes a lot to make a person happy. It is
always the simple pleasures of life which make a difference. It is
never the big and flashy things.
The main idea of “Buy Me a Rose” is that people who are closer to
us deserve more sincere expressions of our love, which may be found
in smaller things in life. Spending time with them rather than
spending money on them is a better way of expressing our love. We
should learn to express our feelings than to show our love through
material goods.
Express your love.

Men Are from Mars and Women Are from Venus
佚名 Anonymous
Imagine that men are from Mars and women are from Venus.
One day long ago, the Martians, looking through their telescopes,
discovered the Venusians. Just glimpsing the Venusians awakened
feelings they had never known. They fell in love and quickly
invented space travel and flew to Venus. The Venusians welcomed the
Martians with open arms. The love between the Venusians and
Martians was magical. They delighted in being together, doing
things together and sharing together. Both the Martians and
Venusians forgot that they were from different planets, and were
supposed to be different. And one morning, everything they had
learned about their differences was erased from their memory. And
since that day, men and women have been in conflict.
The most frequently expressed complaint women have about men is
that men don’ t listen. Either a man completely ignores her when
she speaks, or he listens for a few beats, assesses what’ s
bothering her, and then he proudly puts on his Mr. Fix-it hat, and
offers her a solution to make her feel better. No matter how many
times she tells him that he’ s not listening, he doesn’ t get it,
and he keeps doing the same thing. She wants sympathy, but he
thinks she wants solutions.
The most frequently expressed complaint men have about women is
that women are always trying to change them. When a woman loves a
man, she feels responsible to assist him in growing and tries to
help him improve the way he does things. She forms the Home
Improvement Committee, and he becomes her primary focus. No matter
how much he resists her help, she persists, waiting for an
opportunity to help him or to tell him what to do. She thinks she’
s nurturing him, while he feels he’ s being controlled. Martians
value power, competency, efficiency, and achievement. Their sense
of self is defined through their ability to achieve results.
Achieving goals is very important to a Martian, because it’ s the
way for him to prove his competence and thus feel good about
himself. And for him to feel good about himself, he must achieve
these goals alone, by himself. To offer a man unsolicited advice is
to presume that he doesn’ t know what to do or that he can’ t do it
on his own.
Men are very touchy about this, because the issue of competence
is so very important to them. However, if he truly does need help,
then it’ s a sign of wisdom to get it. In this case, he’ ll find
someone he respects and then talk about his problem. Talking about
a problem on Mars is an invitation for advice. Another Martian
feels honored by the opportunity. Automatically, he puts on his Mr.
Fix-it hat, listens for a few beats, and then offers some jewels of
advice. This Martian custom is one of the reasons men instinctively
offer solutions when a woman talks about her feelings or about her
problems.
Venusians have different values. Their sense of self is defined
through their feelings and the quality of their relationships and
their communication. They experience fulfillment through sharing
and relating. Communication is of primary importance. To share
their personal feelings is much more important than achieving goals
or success. Talking and relating to one another is a source of
tremendous fulfillment. Instead of being goal-oriented, women are
relationship-oriented. They are more concerned with expressing
their goodness, their love, their caring. Venusians are very
intuitive. They pride themselves on being considerate of the needs
and feelings of others. A sign of great love is to offer help and
assistance to another Venusian without even being asked. Without
this insight into the nature of men, it’ s very easy for a woman to
unknowingly and unintentionally hurt and offend the man she loves
most.
Love is magical, and it can last if we remember our
differences.
