Which person with love in his heart will be poor?

“Who, in love, is poor?” This is what the Irish writer Oscar Wilde said. Like many of Wilde’s aphorisms, this statement is thought-provoking and can lead people to infinite realms of thinking.

“Who, in love, is poor?” “Who, in love, is poor?” This is what the Irish writer Oscar Wilde said. Like many of Wilde’s aphorisms, this statement is thought-provoking and can lead people to infinite realms of thinking.

It is worth pointing out that this statement is in the same vein as Fisher’s point of view mentioned by Gu Dodi earlier. As Fisher said, income is actually a series of events, and in the final analysis, income is a series of events. , are inner events and psychic experiences. If we can start from the perspective of Fisher’s “The Theory of Interest” mentioned earlier, then it is not difficult to understand the logic and wisdom of Wilde’s aphorism.

It is best to keep your hobbies in your heart

“Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.” “Keep your hobbies well. In the heart. A life without love is like being in a park with all the withered flowers on a sunless day. Nothing else can bring the warmth and richness that love and being loved can bring to life. Comparable.”

This is another Wilde aphorism. The author likes this sentence very much. Love is an abstract thing, and the feeling without love is even more abstract. However, using some simple English and metaphors that even children can understand, this abstract concept can be expressed vividly. Oscar Wilde’s literature and English Talent is amazing and admirable. According to records, the writer Bernard Shaw once praised Wilde as the person who has the best command of English in history. I believe his praise must be justified!

Love is patient, kind, does not envy, does not boast …

Applying the language of Fisher’s theory, Wilde’s words bring out the point that love is an asset worth investing in, because the income that loving and being loved can bring us is unique and unparalleled. Whether this view is true or not is difficult for us to verify. However, from a purely objective analysis perspective, the “asset class” of love does have its advantages. First of all, unlike most assets, the possession of love is not exclusive: if we own an apple today, it means that other people in the world will have one less apple to own. But having love by one person does not mean that it can be enjoyed by others. Love will diminish. On the contrary, love can even be an asset with a virtuous cycle and special effects. That is, you have love in your heart, which may prompt you to be tolerant, accepting, and grateful for more things and things, and as more people pursue love , each suitor may have an easier time getting her. More importantly, the pursuit of love is actually a process of spiritual training that does not necessarily require any money. The poor may not necessarily have fewer chances of success than the rich, so in theory, this can be a way for the poor to “get ahead of the curve.” A shortcut for the rich. Yes, love is indeed a very special asset and worthy of our investment. So, the question that follows is, what is love? In the Bible’s Book of Corinthians, it describes love like this:

“Love is patient, kind, not jealous, not boastful, neither arrogant nor cruel. Love does not hurt, does not insist on its own opinions, cannot compromise. Love does not get angry easily, does not hold grudges, and does not hold grudges. It does not keep track of past mistakes. Love does not rejoice in what is wrong, but rejoices in the truth. Love endures all things, believes all things, hopes for all things, and endures all things. “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not arrogant or rude. It does not dishonor others, it does not insist on its own way, it is not easily angry or resentful, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

The pursuit of wealth may also be understood as a process of refining the heart.

The Bible’s Book of Corinthians also writes: “So faith, hope, and love are the three virtues that should always exist, and among these three, love should be the greatest.”” So now faith, hope, and love love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” According to records, Jesus often advised people to store up their wealth in the Kingdom of God. Is love the same as entering the Kingdom of God that Jesus refers to? special channel?

In the end, the pursuit of wealth may also be understood as a process of refining the heart. Real wealth may only exist in our hearts. If we can have a heart of appreciation, forgiveness, and gratitude, spiritual wealth may really be available to us. However, a question that follows is, how can we achieve such a level of cultivation and improve our spiritual level to such a state?

While he was in prison, Wilde completed an essay called De Profundis . In this touching article, Wilde details his life’s journey. Although in the early days of his imprisonment, Wang repeatedly felt that he had no love left in his life, later on he came to the realization that this experience of being in prison might be a blessing in disguise. He even To put it somewhat self-deprecatingly, if going to jail is the only way for people to realize this truth about life, then maybe people should go to jail.

The heart is made to withstand brokenness

In the article, Wilde did not directly mention why he had this view, but he did write in the article: “Hearts are made to be broken.” (Hearts are made to be broken) From Reading Prison (Reading Gaol) During his exile after being released from prison, Wilde completed a quite shocking poem called The Ballad of the Reading Gaol . Some commentators regard it as a tribute to the times. It is an indictment of the prison system, but some people think that it is a reflection on some deeper philosophical and sociological issues. In any case, one of the lines of “The Song of Reading Gaol” is: “Except through utter heartbreak.” “How else but through a broken heart May Lord Christ enter?”

Perhaps, if we can still stand up after experiencing complete heartbreak and grief, we may be able to break through a mysterious door and enter a new spiritual realm, able to see and understand many things in the world from a new perspective. Different things. Perhaps, after he experienced the highest and lowest points in his life, Wilde finally discovered that the detachment of the soul is the most precious, and if we have not experienced complete heartbreak and extreme sorrow, it is difficult for us to Enter her own soul world and let her be released and liberated. Wilde did not clearly explain how he could achieve spiritual detachment. Could the mystery lie in whether he could have love in his heart?
