Cherish the Present Moment
Several days ago，I watched a movie titled The painted Veil. It's was about a young lady in her twenties, who was reluctantly to get married. Her parents put a lot of pressure on her and invited schools of gentlemen to their house in hopes of her falling love with one of them. She was so bored and finally decided to marry one man named Phane although she didn’t love him at all.They got married and moved to Shanghai because Phane wanted to help those afficted with cholera.During they were in Shanghai she still didn’t have feeling towards her husband at all and even commited adultery.Her husband loved her so much that he ignored all these and insisted on taking care of her and believed that “there would be more in their relationship”. Seeing this, she realized that it was her husband who really loved her.So she decided that she would love her huband ,too.Unfortunatelly,no sooner had she made the decision than she got the news that her husband was infected by cholera. She felt so guilty and regret, there were a lot of things she wanted to say to her husband and a lot of things she wanted to do for him,but it was too late ,he died.
This movie was indeed very impressive and educative. It tells us to be grateful and cherish what we’ve got instead of taking them for granted. What’s more we should do our utmost to show our love to people around us at the present moment until it’s too late. It reminded me of the recent earthquake happened in SiChuan province. It left tens of thousands of people with pain of losing their relatives and friends, as well as regret.Ask them,they would do more if life can go back.But however hysterically they call them,miss them,they wouldn’t be there any more.
   Thinking about the lady in the movie and those people who are suffering  from the earthquake,I realize that I am so lucky. I have parents who love me so much ;I have friends who sent text messages telling me to be careful the moment she felt the earthquake.I am sure after  the earthquake,I am not the only person who have such feeling.
   Now I understand the significance of my beloved persons. I am determined to grasp the present moment and show my love to them. So yesterday I sent messages to my parents and my friends,telling them to take care of themselves.
   And now I am feeling very happy and contented.
