任何人的好，都不是理所当然的

很多时候，

我们总是一味希望

得到别人的好。

初时，那份温暖如春的善意

让我们心怀感激，

彼此间的吸引力

如磁铁般强烈。

然而，时间久了，

这种关怀仿佛成了

日常的风景，

渐渐习惯其中。

习惯了一个人

对你的好，

便认为是理所应当的。

然而，当某天这一切

与往常不同了，

我们的内心开始泛起波澜，

抱怨、不满、争执随之而来。

其实我们容易

只看到外界的变化，

却忽略了自身的变化。

只要是因缘和合的人事物，

都一定会改变。

关键在于如何相互积极调整，

才能维系那份温暖而健康的关系。

很多时候，并非他人变得不好了，

而是我们的期待和要求在增多。

习惯了得到，却忘记了感恩与珍惜。

---加措活佛

In all aspects of our lives we enjoy the "gifts" that have been bestowed upon us- the upbringing we received from our parents, education from our teachers, the love of romantic partners, help received from friends, nature's bounty, and the gift of time. Therefore we should be content with what we have and maintain a grateful heart. Those who are grateful are happier, and do not cast blame on others and complain. Those who are grateful are full of life, optimistic, and far-sighted; they are able to lessen their troubles and bring more luck into their lives. Gratefulness starts from the heart!
