Rainy season has been with us for a while now
Nobody seems to like it
But nobody can do anything about it except accepting it with certain complaints

Just like air and earth pollution, uncivilized acts by human being, etc.
Life is just like that
There are many things in our life which we would like to see different
But almost always,
The Nature prevails
Even supernatural stuff prevails

and after all,

God prevail!

The question remains:

Can human spirits prevail sometime?
It's a question never meant to be answered
So, as ordinary human beings
We suffer, we struggle, we give up, we go on struggling
Never knowing what the ultimate destiny will be
But at least there's one thing we can do

Don't blame anybody
Don't complain too much
But instead,

Always keep a calm and peaceful heart

And a thankful soul

for what we have

Only then can we enjoy what has been given us by God

good bye

so long

fairwell

bon voyage

To laugh often and much

To win the respect of the intelligent people and the affection of children

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends

To appreciate beauty

To find the best in others

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social contidion

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived

This is to have succeeded

 

                                                                             Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life

You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife

I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do

But, I wish someone had talked to me

Like I wanna talk to you ...

 

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere i could run

I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun

But I ran out of places and friendly faces because i had to be free

I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

 

Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away

'Cause i have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today

I can see so much of me still living in your eyes

Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies ...

 

Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht

I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got

I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see

I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

 

Hey, you know what paradise is?

It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be

But you know what truth is?

It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning

The same one you're gonna make love tonight

That's truth, that's love ...

 

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete

But i took the sweet life, I never knew i'd be bitter from the sweet

I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free

Hey lady ...

I've been to paradise, but i've never been to me

Life is what you give to the world and what you get in return
Life is where you go, what you do, why you do what you do, who you do what you do with, when you do what you do, and how you do what you do
Life is give and take, holding on and letting go
Life is sharing what you have, see, and feel
Life is caring for and treasuring what God has given you -- family, love, friendship, natural and spiritual beauty
Life is ... what you think it is

What do you think?

what is life?

how do people live to be worthy of what God has created?

why do people live?

when do people choose to live or die?

where is the essence of life?

who do people live with to share the joy and sufferings of life?

which aspect of life do people treasure the most?

how much has life given you and have you given life?

how many times has life offered you blessings and have you given life trouble?
