The Love of Giving

"So much of what is love, is fish love."
Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twerski

[@Wokkaiser]

This man has got the point!! Thank you for the video!

[@Darltk]

Great and powerful message. I appreciate that. Giving instead of always receiving is something we all need to learn how to do.

[@RobertDIY]

I see the light.

[@faridlounis4387]

yes it true

[@johnsmith-rd3zx]

i take love and i give love i dont just take love i also give love.

[@abdullahalharbi6147]

Love of giving that was so beautiful

[@emmanuelsebua1445]

Wow. This blew me away.

[@waynzwhirled6181]

Beautiful message, delivered so well. Unfortunate, some of the idiotic comments below, and others that simply miss the mark.

[@theresamacphail6510]

I really enjoyed and felt inspired by the concept of fish love! It is so true, that after the initial romance you must ascertain if this is real love or fish love! This is not so easy a task, but it must be done! True love is not Fish love! Seek the answers, don't waste your precious time on Fish Love!

[@leciarichards4134]

Powerful!!

[@MaryAnn-mn3fm]

Nice sentiment on love of giving being self reflective. There is another type of giving without egocentrism. Random acts of kindness when you don't know the recipient and the recipient doesn't know you. No reciprocity expected. Love of giving for the sake of giving. Ars gratia artis

[@bhansatya1922]

I have experienced that at some point.. isn't that the most satisfying!

[@khenptpt2139]

Thank you so much, yes very good video

How can a random short speech utterly shatter an image of the masses on something so used to that it became an unquestionably normal thing

Transcription : "'Jeune homme. Pourquoi mangez-vous ce poisson ?" Le jeune homme dit : "Parce que j'aime le poisson. Il dit : "Oh, vous aimez le poisson. C'est pourquoi vous l'avez sorti de l'eau, vous l'avez tué et vous l'avez fait bouillir. Il dit : "Ne me dites pas que vous aimez le poisson. Tu t'aimes toi-même, et parce que le poisson a bon goût pour toi, tu l'as sorti de l'eau, tu l'as tué et tu l'as fait bouillir". "Tant de ce qui est amour est de l'amour de poisson. Un jeune couple tombe amoureux. Un jeune homme et une jeune femme tombent amoureux. Qu'est-ce que cela signifie ? Cela signifie qu'il a vu en cette femme quelqu'un qui, selon lui, pouvait lui fournir tous ses besoins physiques et émotionnels, et qu'elle a senti en cet homme quelqu'un qu'elle sent pouvoir écrire, c'est l'amour, mais chacun veille à ses propres besoins. Ce n'est pas de l'amour pour l'autre. L'autre personne devient un véhicule de ma satisfaction. "Trop de ce qu'on appelle l'amour, c'est de l'amour de poisson. Un amour extérieur n'est pas sur ce que je vais recevoir mais je vais donner. Nous avons eu un rabbin éthicien, Dessler, qui a dit : "Les gens font une grave erreur en pensant que vous donnez à ceux que vous aimez, et la vraie réponse est que vous aimez ceux à qui vous donnez. Ce qu'il veut dire, c'est que si je vous donne quelque chose, je me suis investi en vous. Puisque l'amour de soi est un don, tout le monde s'aime, maintenant qu'une partie de moi est devenue en toi, il y a une partie de moi en toi que j'aime. Le véritable amour est un amour de donner, pas un amour de recevoir".

To love yourself is important ... and it is not as easy as he is implying because so many of us are afraid of vanity. (Also, what he says about the woman who marries the man (0:44) is rushed and unclear.)

[@andreasrydland5028]

But at the end of the day, does that not mean that the only part of you that I love, is the part that I put there, which is not really you at all, but rather my investment ?

[@nitzaberrios9021]

.so it means and that only I exist.

[@dopaminecloud]

@@nitzaberrios9021 That's a logic leap. Think clearly. Andreas, you are correct, but the ideas of "you" and "me" are so nonsensical that the projections we place there are just as good. In the end, wanting good for another being and succeeding in giving that, is an objective good. No matter how selfish, irrational and mindless the motivations really are. I don't like dressing it up as something special, or worthy of respect, which it's not, but it's undeniably a good thing.

[@svperboy7481]

I don't get it. It's not true love if you give someone something and invest in them. .. if you only love that part, then you should not love the other person at all.

[@hasansholihin1203]

i need inspirational video with text like this, cause my english is too bad

[@suhibalazeeh7559]

This is motherly love. And since everyone sometimes is annoyed by how much she cares sometimes. I guess real love is not the one everyone is looking for. Sometimes is good to feel pain and Be forgetton. So we wont be so self involved and selfish. To realize that its okay to live with your reality. To be wild and to take risks. To be late at work. Because no one woke you up. So you can laugh about how silly you were. To miss your friend's wedding to know that you cant give them always what they want. Let go. Be free of love. The right one will love you for it.

Not everyone loves themselves...

[@david-kungonzalezramos981]

And because of that they expect the love of others, they want to recieve love without giving true love. They use people to recieve love more than loving other people. The love comes from one self.

[@martina-racheldepasse2557]

quel joli symbôle...

[@LeoMessi-jj5fg]

true love is a love of giving not a love receiving.

[@omarmahmood5480]

So nice theory, but it not applicable in this life

[@prymoephraimberkovitz7325]

try

[@wbwilhite]

An error. Not everyone loves himself. This can be useful or harmful.

[@romansten9]

He makes good points. However, his fish love analogy is not accurate. The greatest conservationists are people that hunt and fish. They give more time and money to build HABITAT, than anyone else. We are all.part of the food chain, and its absurd to think that we need to feel remorse to survive. Not one member of the animal kingdom feels remorse, and they are all far more brutal than humans in the way that they kill. Many animals actually intentionally torture their prey.

[@adibsiddiki7409]

It's just an analogy to explain what love is like between humans. He's not trying to make us feel guilty for eating fish but help us understand the difference between true love and "fish love".

[@christiankarlcasica9852]

romansten9 Understand him first before Commenting

[@jcarreon9248]

I think its just an analogy to help us be aware of what we feel. I love fish is what we say but the true, complete statement is I love eating fish. - once its complete, its clear what it is.
