November 11 represented by four ‘
1’digits, has been dubbed “bachelor’s Day” by Chinese in recent
years.
More young Chinese singles are celebrating the day ,which, this
year comes on Saturday .why the excitement ? well , it seems that
lots of people are finding it increasingly difficult t find mr or
miss right. But ,then ,why is this happing?
I
believe that self-consciousness is good for people .Everyone
deserves to give priority to what he or she wants . However , too
much self-consciousness could develop into extreme
egotism(利己主义)
or narcissism (自恋)
The
other day ,I was watching a BTV matchmaking programming and was
surprised to see just how demanding participants were in describing
a dreaming a dream lover.
Mr
and miss right ,in their minds ,had to be smarts, good looking
,well-educated ,established, and wealthy at the
least.
I
suppose these people were ready to spend their entire lives waiting
for such an ideal person to appear .And I suppose they must think
highly of themselves to expect so much of the others
.
In
the psychology of love ,there is an “equity effect” to the extend
that love is not only about finding the right person .love is also
about being the right person . love is an equal game
between
lovers.
True love requires both people to be tolerant of the other’s
shortcomings. It also means that both are willing to consider the
others’ interests no matter what happens. This is what being the
right person means!
If
people expect too much of others and too little of themselves, they
are likely to fail in finding the right person .
Theophile gautier , a French poet , novelist ,and critic once said:
“to love is to admire with the heart; to admire is to love with
the mind .”
May everyone be blessed in love as well as in being the right
person!
