Liebe

This new year has come with a lot of reflections and the events of this week got me thinking a lot, mostly about my life, where I've been, where I am and where I want to be. And one particular incident, whose details I will withhold has shown me just how incredibly rough life can be sometimes. A lot of us seem to find our true meaning of life in this world, and yet, many have found absolutely nothing to their liking. To some, it means laughter and love. To others it may mean trouble, despair and fever dreams. Some will just walk away from this question like they do for everything else in their so called 'life' but there are others who are willing to take the chance and try to figure out their own meaning of life and strive to achieve their solution. Life is never easy but its just the way life goes. It can be so uncertain , never being sure of what lies ahead. But even then life should be handled like a priceless everlasting treasure. It is full of happiness, joy love and pleasure. It will give you many choices; to wear tears, smiles or frowns. When it comes down to it, the bottom line is life is a wonderful thing and we should stand with open arms to receive what life has to give. Life should be appreciated because if we don't, we will destroy ourselves and life will simply perish.

My first real life lesson was that the people you love aren't going to be around forever so cherish them because the living need more love than the dead. Care for them in so many ways, embrace their differences and when they need you, be there for them. We all want the best of friends, perfect allies, people who will stand by us and live in our memories, who can shine in our eyes then dwell in our hearts. But what most people don't understand is that love is the flower that you have to let grow. If I am wrong, pardon me.If I disappoint you, give me a second chance and probably a third one after that. Keep your words tender and live as if you were to die tomorrow. You show love in everything you do because true love is treating people the way Jesus would treat them. Sow love for everyone no matter how wretched, broken, undeserving or difficult you think they are.  Mutual tolerance is a necessity for all time because in such a gentle way you can shake the world.

I believe that a future should not be a promise that you cannot keep. It should be what you know is tangible and not like our shadows that follow us everywhere we go. But we can make a difference if it's love that we're sowing. Sowing love for everyone no matter who they are because life is never without a need, never without a problem, never without difficult and harmful moments but also never without GOD. The art of being kind is all that this sad earth needs with all it's shame, drudgery and broken dreams. The good life is one that is lived for others because once you know what hurts yourself, you know what hurts others. The best parts of a good person's life are the little secret acts of love that no one remembers. What we do for love is all that will last because whatever good you do will eventually be meaningless. Do it anyway..

Love...and after that, do what you want
