12/7 (Sat.) What is love to you? (Host:sherry)

[holylife0605]

What is love to you?

Hello everyone, as Christmas is approaching, in this season filled with "love,"
I’d like to invite you all to share—what is love?

What do you think is the purpose of life?
For me, it’s about learning how to be human, to love and to be loved.
Can you recall the happiest memory or event in your life?
If you think carefully, it’s not hard to guess that the most valuable things in life are often intangible and cannot be bought with money, such as family bonds, romantic love, and friendships. In fact, many great figures, at the end of their lives, have deep regrets and reflections about life. Let’s listen to Steve Jobs’ final words:

Discussion Questions for Session 1:
With this in mind, let’s discuss:
1. Is love important to you? How would you define love based on your understanding?
2. Do you recall an experience of being deeply loved as a child?
3. How about experiences of being loved as an adult?
4. Have you had experiences of loving someone?
5. How do you currently express love to your parents, siblings, friends, or colleagues? (What is your usual way?)

However, love does not come easily without any cost. It is not something you can enjoy effortlessly.
Love requires determination, consistent effort, and a willingness to give. High-quality relationships take time to build and require patience to nurture. To use an analogy from exercise: if you go to the gym twice a week to build physical strength, love also requires time and practice to develop your “love muscles.”

Discussion Questions for Session 2:
1. What is your love language?
The Five Love Languages:
o Gifts: Expressing love through thoughtful presents.
o Quality Time: Spending dedicated time with loved ones.
o Acts of Service: Doing things for your partner, such as helping with chores or running errands.
o Words of Affirmation: Saying positive and encouraging words to your loved one.
o Physical Touch: Communicating love through physical gestures.

2. When you meet someone you love, are you ready to give? What are some ways you can give?( Sacrifice for him/her)

3. Who is the person you love the most right now? Is there someone you would deeply regret losing (because it would leave you with a sense of regret)?

4. Identify the person you love most around you (like your parents or siblings).
Can you think of specific ways to practice expressing love to them starting today?
(How much time do you spend a week doing something for him/her?)

Before wrapping up, I’d like to share a song about love: ====================================================

It's easier to believe that Steve jobs final words are OH WOW*3.

It's not easy for me to believe that he wrote that article full of regrets about what he shouldn't have done and could have done. But it's always good to look at life in a positive way, so I will put the doubt aside, for now.

I did the same thing as Rock did—haha.
Defining love is so challenging. Can a single moment of love truly be called love? Or does it need to last longer? If so, how long is "long enough"?
Perhaps it’s the simplicity of the word itself that makes it so hard to define.

Looking forward to hearing some unique ideas from everyone!

"You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers."

then again, this is my favorite Steve Jobs quote, though just like the topic says, you got to know what love is to you first.
