There once was a master who went to India. In those times, we didn't have airplanes or many kinds of transportation that we do now. So the master went to India . And when he got there, he saw a lot of fruit. In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is because they can't grow much the water situation. So he saw one basket, a big basket of some very red, long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop, not expensive at all.
So he and asked, "How much per kilo?" And the shopkeeper said, "Two rupees."(印度货币) Two rupees in India is ; it's like dirt (尘土). So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it: Oh, my God! His __ watered, his mouth watered and burned, his eyes were burning, his head was burning and his face became . As he coughed terribly , he up and down, saying, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"
But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, "You're crazy, man. Those are chilies（辣椒）! You can't eat so many; they're not good for you! People use them a condiment（作料）, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can't just eat them by the handful like that; they're not !" So the silly master said, "No, I can't stop! I paid money for them, now I'll eat them. It's my !"
And you think that master was silly, right? Similarly, we sometimes do a lot of things like that. we still continue just because we've money, time, effort and love into it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and felt so bad but couldn't stop because he didn't want to waste the money he'd paid.
So you've lost something, let it go and move on. That's better than continuing to .

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked up at me and said, “I 31 you.” I did not know 32 to say, and I just stood there, looking 33 at him. My first thought was that he must need help with his homework. Then I asked, “What was that all about ?” “Nothing,” he said, “My teacher said we should tell our parents we love them and see what they say.”
The next day I called his teacher to 34 more about what my son said and how the other parents had reacted﹡. “Most of the fathers had the 35 response﹡ as you did,” the teacher said, ”When I first suggested ﹡that we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would be surprised.”
Then the teacher explained , “ I want my students to know that feeling love is an important part of 36 . I’m trying to tell them it’s too bad that we don’t express﹡ our feelings. A boy 37 tell his parents he loves them.” The teacher understands that sometimes it is 38 for some of us to say something .
That evening when my son came to me, I took him in my arms and held on for a while, saying, “Hey, I love you, 39 .” I don’t know if saying that made either of us healthier, 40 I did feel pretty good.
