youth
Life worth fighting for the while
Dreams of desolate happiness,
Along with out permanent loneliness,
Oh alone together we are today
Withering moments of yesterday.
Despaired hearts yet full of hopes,
Repaired wounds, renowned scars,
Oh youth, oh youth, how blissfully old.
The same stories of today- are only retold!
promises and hope
"In the first place, you shouldn't believe in promises. The world is full of them: the promises of riches, of eternal salvation, of infinite love. Some people think they can promise anything, others accept whatever seems to guarantee better days ahead, as ,I suspect is your case. Those who make promises they don't keep end up powerless and frustrated, and exactly the fate awaits those who believe promises." — Paulo Coelho (The Devil and Miss Prym)
Life was never supposed to be perfect, then why do we expect it to be perfect? Whoever promised you of a perfect life is clearly promising one of the biggest illusion. I have known of one truth that after a period of chaos, is a period of tranquility...that is how the circle keeps on completing itself. We humans do not possess the gift of detachment, I guess each of us have it to some degree, but wonder how much of it do we exercise it. Detachment is not to be confused with the feeling of self obsession or self satisfaction, it is supposed to be a strange feeling of freedom, and this you can experience it during the period of extreme chaos.
Wasting your tears over broken dreams, broken heart... will lead you to lose a gift you possess : HOPE.
The absurdity of hope is that we misuse it, we hope for a better future, we hope for better status, we hope for better material life, we hope for infinite love. Hope - as someone once told me " for internal peace, to understand the rhythm of the universe, to understand silence, to reunite with your soul mate in every life that you live, to understand the connection of music and the soul, to understand the relationship you have with nature...." I asked "what about relationships - with our parents, our friends, love..." and here is what was answered : " you should hope to understand love, you must understand that all relationships are formed out of it."
