Frail

Life is brief and short. 

We will know it as we grow older as each year seems to pass by with greater speed than the last. In the end we have to ask ourselves the basic question : What is life all about? I believe everyone has been given a "mission" in life, and happy are those who have found and accomplished their mission before his or her passing.

In this "capitalist" world we tend to forget that money is only a necessary means to sustain ourselves. We are so engrossed in making money in our everyday life that it has become an end unto itself and we quickly forget why we need the money for in the first place every though we have enough to live by (for those who have already achieved financial "success").

Rich or poor, death levels everything. In the end "Only the actions of the just. smell sweet and blossom in their dust".

Only once in your life, (will) you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. 

When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around.

You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasure kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. 

Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile.

 

Your only hope and security
is in knowing that they are a part of your life
