What did it mean? Simply, it meant that love however big or small should not and cannot be measured. There is no unit nor a scale that is able to measure mankind's most affectionate emotion - love.
So what exactly is love? I don't know how to fully explain the word 'love'. What I know is either you are in or out of love. Love knows no boundaries and can be at times self sacrificing.
Love can bring joy and happiness to an individual. Remember the last time you felt loved? The feeling is rather unexplainable except that it is more than ecstatic. For me, I feel loved all the time as I know that everyday, someone out there cares and loves me much.
Here comes the sad part. Where there is love,there will be hate. Like everything else, there is an opposing element. In the Chinese Tao, everything has a yin and yang. Everything has its good and its bad, its up and its down. Nothing in this world has only a positive effect. It is exactly this reason that we know what love really is cause if it is only love that we know, we will never purely believe in the existence of love.
In our lives, it is not almost impossible to really say ' I love everyone and hate nobody.' I guess that depends on individual's willingness to eventually forgive and forget and allow hatred to be controlled. With forgiveness, hatred subsides but that does not mean its forgotten. It perhaps takes time to allow the memory bank to slowly put the incident behind but surely, it will not be completely lost. It will playback once in awhile and bring back some sense of bitterness.
At that point of time, it depends solely on how you want to move on with life as the same wise man also said ' What is not lost comes back to haunt you even at your happiest hour ...but as love conquers all, this unpleasant memory will eventually drift away and happiness will surely be returned to the rightful owner.'
You might somehow know who this wise man is.
