A good book is a light to the soul

In the last several weeks, I have finished reading a humorous book called Emma which inspired me to rethink my ideas on relationship, friendship as well as kindness.

The main character called Emma Woodhouse, a clever and beautiful lady, is born in a rich family. She is so kindhearted that she cares so much about the happiness and marriage of her friends. She is successful in her so-called matchmaking career until she meets Harriet. Emma is eager to introduce Harriet to a rich gentleman, but it turns out that this gentleman loves Emma instead. What a mess! She cares too much about her friends, but she is so insensitive to her own feelings. Fortunately, she eventually finds that her true love, Mr. Knightly, is just beside her all the time. Knightly loves her with heart and soul, and Harriet also finds her true love.

I learn from the novel that we should be kind to everyone around us and respect the choice of our friends. On the other hand, we should not neglect the kindness and love from the people around us.
