Lesson 116
Hello everyone, how are you?
I did not know you would miss me this much!! Quite promising!! Thanks for the messages.
I had a friend who had an unsuccessful marriage. His wife was always complaining that he did not love her since he had never expressed his love. They had almost broken their relation. One day, he told me that he loved his wife. But his problem was that he could not express it plainly. I asked him to go tell her exactly the same words that he was telling me while I was waiting for him outside.
Then, he went to his wife and said, “I have always loved you. But I cannot express it. This is my problem!”
Her wife began to laugh and I spent several hours just behind their house waiting for him to come back, which he didn't! So, I left back home alone!!
Sometimes, we love somebody or something but we do not express it. It is like we invest money in the bank for somebody, but he/she cannot receive it. We have invested in a wrong way.
I don't know why I spoke this much! So,!! بگذریم /begzærim/! (Let it go / Anyway)
