為什麼我們談戀愛需要慢慢來？❤️ (Why We Need to Take It Slowly in Love)
- In our youngest years, we may have had to acclimatise ourselves to a very uneven supply of affection. Perhaps mother was unavailable and father was violent. There might have been a lot of sarcasm and not much patience for our sorrows or opinions. And therefore, the only way to survive would have been to withdraw, to learn to play alone and to make our peace with a restricted emotional diet. So when someone arrives in adulthood promising us a banquet, when someone lays out dish after dish of generosity and care, when someone promises us unlimited kindness and tenderness, our first response may not be joy but nausea, not delight but panic. We may be unable to absorb or metabolise any of the rich nutrients before us and, without quite knowing why, in order to maintain our poise, may have no option but to turn on our kind hosts, blame them for being weak or odd and run away. We might wish to tell them, please be so kind as not to be too kind, please be generous enough not to overwhelm me, please let me find my own way to reciprocation. On the other side of the ledger, we, the so-called generous ones, the banquet givers who like to move fast, should also be brave enough to question our behaviour. It may look as if we are being purely and simply romantic, Paris on the second date, nicknames after a week. But we may turn out to be, beneath our bold gestures, something rather more complicated and sad, untenably and unhelpfully anxious. We lose our minds if we haven't heard from them in two hours.
在我們年幼的時候，我們可能不得不適應非常不均衡的親情供應。也許母親不在身邊，父親又很粗暴。他們可能會對我們冷嘲熱諷，對我們的悲傷或意見沒有多少耐心。是以，唯一的生存之道就是退縮，學會獨自玩耍，在有限的情感飲食中求得安寧。是以，當成年後有人來到我們身邊，許諾給我們一場盛宴，當有人擺出一盤又一盤慷慨和關懷的菜餚，當有人承諾給我們無限的善意和溫柔，我們的第一反應可能不是喜悅，而是噁心，不是高興，而是恐慌。我們可能無法吸收或新陳代謝我們面前的任何豐富營養，而且不知道為什麼，為了保持我們的風度，我們可能別無選擇，只

感恩的驚人效果！✨ (The Amazing Effects of Gratitude)
- Back in the 1820s, Scottish philosopher Thomas Brown defined gratitude as "that delightful emotion of love to him who has conferred a kindness on us." But scientifically, gratitude doesn't qualify as a basic emotion like joy, sadness, or anger.
長久以來，隨時保持感恩的心這個概念已在宗教中或哲學中都被大力強調
- Back in 1820 Scottish philosopher Thomas Brown defined gratitude as “that delightful emotion of love to him who has conferred a kindness on us.”
