I love you, even though I never understood you

We can still love them, love them completely, without complete understanding.

When one day I found out that I couldn't even tell my best friend clearly, a huge helplessness hit me and I couldn't resist it for a while. Later, I gradually discovered that there are not many people in the world who can understand you, and many words are stuck in the throat, and finally turned into tears.
All of a sudden, I was so desperate, my head was full of "no one, no one". It seems that there is only God and you in the world.

We can still love them, love them completely, without complete understanding.

When I heard this sentence, I suddenly realized that the love is still there.
Those who don't understand me, those who love me, are always there.
Above all rationality, it has always been there.
Even when I feel like there is no reason, I am still there.
It turns out that love is never about knowing and not knowing.


Love is patient, love is kind;
love is not jealous, does not boast, is not arrogant, is not rude, does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not reckon wrong, does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth ;
bears all things, believes all things, endures all things.
Love is never ending.

- 1 Corinthians 13:4-8



Use it all your life to practice, when people let you down, when people hurt you, when the whole world abandons you, still love.
It is love that completes the world.
