Since ancient times, many people think that “life is precious, and love is even more valuable”. In face of life, they prefer love more. Then let alone the lives, compared with love, people would choose love in accordance with such point of views, love undoubtedly accounts for the first place. But now, many people think that life is more important than love, they believe where there is no “bread”, there is no basic material that can maintain people’s fundamental lives. When the material life has not been satisfied to some extent, the spiritual life can not be achieved. Nevertheless love is an important spiritual component. Thereby, love is defeated by lives. As the people’s ideas are changing, their focus is also changing, so people begin to reconsider the value of love and bread.
In my opinion, realistically speaking, life should be important than love. It doesn’t mean that young people respect much for money, and ignore the love. As the reality of social, people’s lives have become more complex, the pace of life has become faster and faster, the competitive lives make the concept of “survival of the fittest” begin to gain first place and become very practical. People need to struggle to feed themselves and support their families. Once accouter with difficulties, people would be very difficult to put up with the difficulties and hardships, they have found that hard-working and dedication can not make them eventually reach their intended purpose. If one can find a husband or wife with relatively good economic conditions, they can improve their living conditions relieve their sufferings so that they can live easier lives. I think this is quite understandable, because in human’s life, countless difficulties are waiting for you to cross, if you want to overcome them easily, without violation of basic human morality, I think “marry well” is entirely acceptable.
Maybe some people think these kinds of views are too selfish or too impersonal. But from another point of view, life is simple. For the sake of love, the two lovers may live a poor and painful life, if I was one of them, I prefer to have she/he live a better life with another person, rather than suffer from troubles with me — in other worlds, this is also a kind of love, which is expressed by another way. Only depending on love can not solve the problem. Perhaps my views are realistic, but practically speaking, this view totally conforms to the society. As long as there is no breach of social morality, we must select one from “love” and “bread”, I think “bread” should be more important than “love”.
