Wildlife scientist Sylvester Sorolla believes that every event in life offers us an opportunity to choose love and overcome fear. All the beautiful things in life are the result of choosing love. By love, I mean the innate joy, hope, and openness to spiritual pursuits that we are born with. Emotions rooted in fear include feeling inadequate, believing our accomplishments are not great enough, or accepting the societal notion that achievement comes from acquiring material things. However, deep down, we recognize that the meaning of life goes beyond this, and that inner yearning is a longing for love.
I once hosted a program featuring dialogue between victims and perpetrators. In one instance, a 17-year-old girl said to the person who had beaten her unrecognizable four years prior, leaving her for dead, “I do not hate you. I had to learn to forgive you so that I could go on living.” This is the most powerful force I have ever witnessed. In that moment, she expressed why we come into this world—to learn to love. We live to love, to learn love in the face of adversity or even death, and to understand how to cherish it. Consequently, as we go through experiences, we are more likely to view our world with compassion and to empathize with others out of love.
野生动物学家西尔维斯特·索罗拉认为，生活中发生的每一件事，都在为我们提供一个选择爱、克服畏惧的机会。世间一切美好，皆源于我们选择了爱。这里所说的爱，是指我们天生拥有的欢乐、希望以及对精神追求的认可。相反，畏惧的情绪表现为觉得自己不够好、功劳不足，或是被社会灌输“成就仅源于物质获取”的观念。然而，在内心深处，我们明白生活的意义远不止于此，这种深层的渴望，正是对爱的渴望。
我曾主持过一档受害者与罪犯对话的节目。节目中，一位17岁的少女对四年前曾将她打得面目全非、甚至以为她已死而弃之不顾的人说道：“我不恨你。我曾不得不学会宽恕你，这样我才能继续活下去。”这是我迄今为止见过的最强大的力量。在那一刻，她道出了我们来到这个世界的真谛——为了学会爱。活着，是为了爱；是为了在困境乃至面对死亡时，依然能学会爱，并懂得如何珍视这份爱。因此，当我们经历种种后，便会更多地怀揣恻隐之心看待这个世界，更多地出于爱的本能，设身处地地体谅他人。
