I was preparing some
food and the dog keep on following me in the kitchen up to the dining table.
The dog looks up intently with its eyes begging for some food. I got irritated at
some point but my heart pointed me to something about this situation. It tells
me “You see how pitiful the sight of a begging dog, what if you were a dog?”
Two things came into my
mind.
First, when it comes to
love, we are not comfortable at the sight of someone begging for it. We want it
reciprocated, or at the very least, we want someone’s effort to be honored and
respected. Love is not begged because it is freely given. That is why
unrequited love is most painful.
