1. You need to know this about love, and to accept it. You need to treat what it brings you with kindness. If you find yourself in love with a person who does not love you, be gentle with yourself- There is nothing wrong with you - Love just didn't choose to rest in the other person's heart; If you find someone else in love with you and you don't love him or her, feel honored that love came and called at your door, but gently refuse the gift you cannot return. Do not take advantage, do not cause pain. How you deal with love is how love will deal with you, and all our hearts feel the same pains and joys, even if our lives and ways are very different.
