There is a story being told about two poor lovers. The girl had a lovely golden hair and that was the best thing she had. The boy had a lovely wrist watch, but without a strap. Both loved each other very much.
On Valentine’s day, they wanted to give a gift to each other, but they had no money. Somehow they managed to buy gifts and presented them each other. When the boy opened the gift, he was thrilled to find a lovely strap for his wristwatch. When the girl opened her gift, she found a golden hair band.
But, the tragedy was that she had no hair, for she had cut and sold her beautiful golden hair to buy the watch strap which her lover needed, and he, on his part had sold his strapless watch in order to buy the golden hair band for her lovely golden hair. Each offered something wonderful for the other.
“Love has no meaning if it isn’t shared. Love has to be put into action. You have to love without expectation, to do something for love itself, not for what you may receive,” reminds Mother Teresa of Kolkata.
