Sad Love Stories: The Tale of the Cup and Water
One day, the cup said to its owner, “I’m lonely. I need water. Please give me some water.”
The owner replied, “Alright, if you have the water you want, will you no longer be lonely?”
The cup said, “I suppose so.” So, the owner poured boiling water into the cup. The water was very hot, and the cup felt like it was melting. The cup thought, this must be the power of love.
Then, the water cooled down a bit, and the cup felt very comfortable. The cup thought, this must be the feeling of life.
Later, the water turned cold, and the cup became scared, though it didn’t know why. The cup thought, this must be the taste of loss. Gradually, the water turned completely cold, and the cup fell into despair. The cup thought, this must be the “masterpiece” of fate.
The cup said, “Owner, please pour the water out. I don’t need it anymore.” But the owner was not around. The cup felt like it was being suffocated. The hateful water, cold and in its heart, made the cup feel so sad.
The cup shook with all its might, and finally, the water left the cup’s heart. The cup was very happy. Suddenly, the cup fell to the ground. The cup shattered, and in its final moments, it saw that every part of its heart had traces of the water. Only then did it realize how much it loved the water. It loved the water so much, but it could no longer hold the water in its heart completely.
The cup cried. Its tears mixed with the water, and it wished it could use its last strength to love the water one more time.
Love is often only cherished after experiencing pain and is often regretted when it’s too late to recover. This is true for love, and for many other things in life as well. It’s only after losing them that they are deemed precious.
