I believe that everyone who has watched this film thinks that the idea of "letting love out" is great and feasible, but we may not think of it, or dare not think of it. I dare not think about it because most of us don't know how big the effect of geometric progression is. The way the little boys in the film spread love is the method of geometric progression: each person gives his love to three people, and then each of the three people also spreads his love to three people, and so on. , then the world will have love for everyone, and the world will be full of love. In fact, this practice does not take a long time, because the power of geometric progression is amazing.
In an ancient Indian legend, a king intended to reward the inventor of chess by asking him what he wanted. The inventor did not seem to have a big appetite, so he asked the king to give him some wheat. The specific method was as follows: put one grain of wheat on the first square of the chess board, two grains on the second square, and four grains on every third square. Put eight grains on the fourth square...each square has twice as many wheat as the previous square, until 64 squares are filled. The king did as he said, and thought his request was too simple. But when the king sent his men to execute it, he found that it could not be realized. Because the amount of wheat the other party wants is enough to cover the earth with a thick layer.
Therefore, according to the assumption of the little boy in the film, love can definitely be spread, and it won't take long for the whole world to be full of love and become a "beautiful world" as the song sings. But why are there so many ugly phenomena in this world? So much war and hatred exist? The main problem is that people are unwilling to act. Just thinking is useless, action will bring results. Action is certainly difficult, but this difficulty is entirely surmountable.
The way to spread love in the film is to give love to others, to actually provide help to others without needing to reciprocate. If you want to reciprocate, it is to pass on this love. Love is not spoken, but acted. Acts of love set off an infinite chain reaction that took root like dandelion seeds everywhere.
To love others, you must first be like love, and let others see love in you. This requires us to make changes. In his autobiography, My Practice of Truth, Mahatma Gandhi wrote: "Be the change you want to see in the world." We have to be that person first, before we can teach others how to do it.
There is a story about Mahatma Gandhi: a woman brought her son from far away to see Gandhi, and she hoped Gandhi would teach her son not to eat too much sugar. She said to Gandhi: "Sir, please teach my son not to eat too much sugar, he admires you very much, he will listen to you." Gandhi hesitated and said to the woman, "Then come back next month. "The woman was puzzled, but she did as Gandhi said. A month later, the woman came to see Gandhi with her son and said to him, "Sir, I came last month." Gandhi said, "I know." The woman said, "I came to hope that you Teach my son not to eat too much sugar because it is not good for his health." Gandhi said to the woman's son, "Son, don't eat too much sugar." The story ends here. But women find it confusing, why not say it when I first come? So she summoned the courage to ask Gandhi, "Why did you tell my child now, sir?" Gandhi replied, "Because I also ate a lot of sugar last month."
Be what you want to see in the world Change is because people tend to do what you do instead of what you say. Teachers need to teach by words, but also by example. This is exactly the reason. The little boy in the film did just that. He decided to help three people. He brought a homeless home for the night, and helped his mother and sociology teacher to develop their relationship so that they could find each other's true love. In order to help a partner who was bullied by his classmates to stand up, he finally fell in a pool of blood and ended his young life. It was he who showed love, so he contributed to the movement of "spreading love out" in the whole city, which has influenced countless people and changed the fate of many people.
This film is based on the novel of the same name, it should be said that this is the author's idealistic conception, and this conception was initiated and practiced in the great Lord Jesus Christ. The spread of the gospel, like the spread of love in the movies, increases exponentially. To spread love, it cannot be accomplished by people alone, because everyone is selfish, and only by the power of the Holy Spirit can the spread of love be complete. Only the love on the cross is truly selfless and broad love. Only by relying on the love of the cross and spreading the love of the cross can the world be saved.
