Love is a two-way street
A father sat at his desk and looked at his bills when his young son rushed in and announced: “ Dad, because today is your birthday and you’re 40 years old, I’m going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!” When the boy started making good on his word（履行诺言），the father shouted: “ Andrew, don’t do it now. I’m too busy!”
The boy soon fell silent as tears fell from his big blue eyes. Feeling sorry, the father said: “ You can finish later.” The boy said nothing but walked away. That evening the father said: “ Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!”
Unfortunately, a few days later after the father’s birthday, the boy had an accident and died. His father wrote: “ If only（要是··· ···,该多好）I could tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless words, and how much my heart is hurting.”
Love is a two-way street. We must warmly accept any loving act, or others will take it as a “NO” and it can leave a scar（伤疤）. If we don’t receive love, our life will lose its true meaning. Nothing is more important than accepting love from those who are near and dear to us.
