1、XX年关于爱的英语演讲稿XX年关于爱的英语演讲稿ever since the dawning of the history of mankind, there have been myriads of diversifed inventions, discoveries, and even explorations of the mysteries of the universe. in fact, the human beings are so intelligent that we have solved almost all kinds of problems we have confr
2、onted with .however, nobody has ever made out what the word “love” really connotes, not even the most famous people such as great politicians, saints and philosophers can clarify the meaning of “love”, neither can they deal with the various affairs concerning love. love is like a huge boundless net
3、that shrouds us all in. we can neither break away from it nor escape from it. like it or not, we are always entangled in it. it is an invisible net without any form, that shrouds in different people from different angels; it is a merciless net that upsets us or even tortures us to death. it is also
4、a supreme net which almost no human can surpass. even if they are heroes, emperors, wise men or saints, they can do nothing but show their helplessness in its face. those who can breathe through the holes of the net should be regarded beyond monness and vulgarity. love can bring us temporary fort an
5、d happiness, but mostly they bring about annoyance and sufferings. maybe this is the reason why many people have seen through the illusions of the mortal world. however it is not so easy to break away from this boundless, ever-existing and indifferent net of love.love is varied and changeable, but r
6、oughly it can be divided into three categories: family love, fraternal love and amatory love. not like monkey king who jumped out of the rocks, we were all born after mothers pregnancy of about nine months, hence we have countless relatives without any choice: parents, grand-parents, and grand-paren
7、ts-in-law, uncles and aunties, brothers and sisters, etc. and once looking at the genealogical tree, well see no end. family love is what everyone longs for, but the warmth and support from our belooved ones are what everyone yearns for the most. but how many of us are determined to contribute to ou
8、r beloved one? and how many dont expect repayment and relaxed. conscience even if they have the desire and preparation to contribute to their beloved. the distance between relatives is different and so are their expectations. but since its very difficult to know how much we should expect, a lot of w
9、orries and distresses emerge.parents always expect their children to show their filial obedience, or at least pay them frequent visits after they have got married. if the children fail to do this, they feel hurt and upset, and theyll even plain about their children, because they just cant understand
10、 why their children dont care about them after what they have done for the children for so many years to bring them up. nevertheless, ones experience determines his ideology. young children are naturally attached to their parents, but when they grow up, specially when they have made their own friend
11、s, and got married, what they need most is independence and freedom, and parents sometimes might bee their burden. once there is generation gap, it bees more difficult to municate and this keeps them away from their parents. objectively speaking, they need more independence in order to achieve succe
12、ss. in the present society, what the children want to have most is the economic support from their parents, not their moral support or guidance. they would plain if your economic support is not up to their expectations. the love from uncles and aunties would naturally dwindle after they have had the
13、ir own children. only the love from grand-parents and grand parents-in-law is pure and demands no repayment, and they are also too old to wait for any repayment. as for the distant relatives, their love depends on their needs, just as the old saying goes “the poor have no friends even if they live i
14、n downtown while the rich have distant relatives even if they live in deep mountains”. granny liu, a distant kinsfolk, in a dream of the red mansions , claims kinship with the wealthy jia family, thinking that she may benefit from it in some ways. liu might have run away without any traces if the ji
15、a family had been a poor one. another saying goes “close neighbors are better than distant relatives.” the most difficult is to manage the relatives when doing business together, just as what the tv series program liu laogen discloses. it is all right to stay poor together, but as soon as the busine
16、ss grows prosperous, the group will bee estranged and even dissolve because of the unfair distribution. family love is like a maze which we shouldnt go too far into it, otherwise, well surely get lost. love is a bilateral matter and unilateral love can only lead you to nowhere in spite of your good
17、intentions. family love is, sometimes, like an arranged marriage, leaving no choices to you. due to the different experiences and tastes, staying together temporarily can be entertaining, while living together for a long time can only be boring due to the lack of mon interest and understanding. how
18、can we municate with each other without understanding? parents have the duty to support the children who are not yet economically independent, and children have the responsibility to provide for the elderly parents who are lack of economic abilities to support themselves. except these two kinds of d
19、uties which we must fulfill, other kinds of love bee conventional formalities such as paying visit to the sick or the dead and giving presents to the newly-born etc.no love among relatives has bee a normal phenomenon which neednt to be fussed about. whats worse is when love is contaminated by money.
20、 sooner or later we will get hurt. the sooner we get out of this net of love, the more we can preserve beautiful memories.we are not living in vacuum, and the society is formed of various kinds of people. as long as we want to live, study, or work, we have to contact, municate and cooperate with oth
21、ers. those who enjoy mon interests, mutual understanding, mon undertakings and mon benefits bee friends.some friends are called fair-weather friends, because they are together just for entertaining themselves by eating, drinking, and gossiping. once theres nothing to eat and drink, their friendship
22、is finished. some are spiritual friends who share mon ambitions, pursuits and education. “they enjoy talking and laughing with the great talents and never make friends with the good-for-nothings”. the best examples would be yu boya and zhong ziqi of the ancient times who are famous not only for thei
23、r lofty music but mainly for their lofty characters and mutual understanding and appreciation. they cared very little about material wealth, so their friendship is known as “gentlemens friendship as pure as water”. the third type of friendship belong to those who show their utter devotion to each ot
24、her. they are ready not only to share weal and woe but also to die for each other, like the three brothers liu, guan and zhang in the novel romance of the three kingdoms. . we all wish to have this kind of friendship, but its of great difficulty for the ordinary people to be as devoted as they were.
25、fraternal love or friendship is wide-ranged and flexible. generally speaking, everyone is our friend, just as chairman mao says “our friends are all over the world”. but transcend age, sex, nationality, state and economic conditions. to them the most important is mon benefit, mon interest and unders
26、tanding. friendship is formed during the course of studying, working and fighting. the battle panions who have survived many hazards usually enjoy long-lasting , fraternal love is not stable. being away for too a long time, losing all mon benefits, friends will bee estranged. once their interest has
27、 changed, they no longer understand each other, and eventhis would harm friendship. at all times and in all countries, many close friends and battle panions who once worked together and fought together became enemies in the end. quiet a few of the emperors in ancient china even killed those who had
28、helped them found their dynasties. the taiping heavenly kingdom would not have failed if it hadnt been for the contending and massacring among the those who first rose in rebellion at the beginning of the uprising. what else we need to pay attention to is that some friends, after being away from eac
29、h other for too long a time, have lost so much of their original characters that when meeting again, you will feel that you are still the same as you were, while they are no longer themselves. they may have the same feeling about you, so sometimes its better not to meet each other again. as the chin
30、ese proverb goes “friendship can not last for three years and flowers can not stay in blossom for three months”. its not so easy to maintain real friendship which needs mutual understanding, tolerance and sacrifice. any kinds of harsh treatment will damage friendship.amatory love has been a mystery
31、for ages. theres neither a criterion to judge nor a mon rule to follow. nobody can tell the exact reasons why love emerges. it is not always because of beauty (the ugly doorkeeper quasimodo in the hunchback of notre dame is loved by the beautiful gypsy girl esmeralda), nor kindness (hitler also has
32、his mistress), nor wisdom ( even the blockhead may sometimes marry a beautiful girl), nor strength (some love starts from sympathy). true love is like getting an electric shock, shaking our soul. it is a sweet dream, a kind of intoxication, indulgence, and endless passion.true love doesnt need a lon
33、g time to grow up, to make clear the family tree of the other, neither does it needs the time to look ahead and behind again and again. love is not marriage, which usually starts from love, butdoesnt always depend on love to maintain. long-lasting marriage can eventually turn into a kind of family love, a kin
