1 " What's the deal? Why can't he look
into my eyes when I have words
of appreciation lined up for him.
Has he simply forgotten
how he feels?
all his emotions plunged into oblivion.
or he is so full to talk about it.
He won't confide in me
which I understand is his choice.
I really wish to but
I can barely get under his skin.But what I know about him is
he feels very sad and
he has honest eyes.
And every broken heart should
have a place in this world.

He has a place in my heart~ "

2 " In the area of linguistics, there are major language
groups: Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, English, Portuguese,
Greek, German, French, and so on. Most of us grow up
learning the language of our parents and siblings, which
becomes our primary or native tongue. Later, we may learn
additional languages but usually with much more effort.
These become our secondary languages. We speak and
understand best our native language. We feel most
comfortable speaking that language. The more we use a
secondary language, the more comfortable we become
conversing in it. If we speak only our primary language and
encounter someone else who speaks only his or her
primary language, which is different from ours, our
communication will be limited. We must rely on pointing,
grunting, drawing pictures, or acting out our ideas. We can
communicate, but it is awkward. Language differences are
part and parcel of human culture. If we are to communicate
effectively across cultural lines, we must learn the language
of those with whom we wish to communicate.
In the area of love, it is similar. Your emotional love
language and the language of your spouse may be as
different as Chinese from English. No matter how hard you
try to express love in English, if your spouse understands
only Chinese, you will never understand how to love each
other. My friend on the plane was speaking the language of
“Affirming Words” to his third wife when he said, “I told her
how beautiful she was. I told her I loved her. I told her how
proud I was to be her husband.” He was speaking love, and
he was sincere, but she did not understand his language.
Perhaps she was looking for love in his behavior and didn’t
see it. Being sincere is not enough. We must be willing to
learn our spouse’s primary love language if we are to be
effective communicators of love. "

3 " There is no
room for the love of others within the tight, crowded miser’s hole of a private
ego. Be empty in order to be filled. ’He that loveth his life shall lose it; and
he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. "

― Ayn Rand , The Fountainhead

4 " Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be andhe will become as he can and should be. "
