The familiar verses of musician Trinh Cong Son evoke profound meanings about a life of sharing, caring in human relationships. Discussing this issue, poet To Huu once said: 'Life is about giving, not just receiving for oneself.' The quote embodies a beautiful humanistic lesson about the life of love, sharing.
As we know, 'life' is not only a state of existence but also a journey to affirm the meaning, value of each individual's existence. 'Giving' is the action of giving, implying care, sharing, love, mutual help of humans; while 'receiving' is receiving love, care from others. Thus, by highlighting the close relationship between 'giving' and 'receiving', the quote embodies the noble philosophy of life: in the journey of existence and self-affirmation, humans not only receive care from others but also ready to give, to give love, and to dedicate to life.
As we know, giving love is one of the expressions of noble humanity, manifested through caring and sharing. It is empathy for the pain, unhappiness of others, caring, helping the unfortunate, those facing difficulties and adversity. The life of dedication is also an expression of the traditional solidarity of the Vietnamese people through many generations. From ancient times to the present, practical activities such as donations, support, and social programs like 'Heart for You', 'Warm Tet for Love',... When knowing how to give love, humans will create happiness and joy for themselves, because 'Love is the happiness of humans.' Especially, knowing how to care, share, we will receive respect and love from those around us. The lofty, great life of President Ho Chi Minh is a shining example of the noble principle of 'giving.' For the ideal of national liberation, He sacrificed, dedicated to leading our people to break the chains of slavery.
However, in society, there still exist many individuals with selfish, petty lifestyles, only caring about personal interests, willing to sacrifice the happiness of others to achieve their own goals. Besides, there are many indifferent, insensitive people to the pain of others. They do not know how to give love but only live in the shell of indifference, cruelty, selfishness. These behaviors need to be condemned, criticized in society.
Therefore, to promote, spread the noble values of the life of dedication 'one for all,' we need to establish righteous, positive living ideals. Knowing how to give, share love, empathy, sharing, helping others with practical actions, because 'Love is the only thing that increases when shared.' As students, we need to care about those around us, actively participate in fundraising, support activities to spread the power of love.
The quote 'Life is about giving, not just receiving for oneself' has expressed a righteous view of life about giving, sharing love, and noble dedication in human relationships. Let the warm flame of sharing spirit always shine in the hearts of every human being, because 'The coldest place is not the North Pole, but where there is no love.'
