Days Of Our Lives
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
---Henry David Thoreau
In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
---Eleanor Roosevelt
The purpose of our lives is to be happy.
---Dalai Lama
The days of our lives should be as the river flows into the sea, an adventure that makes us come to a greater awareness of something bigger than us ‘the purpose of mankind’, living together open-minded and loving one another as brothers and sisters.
Today, we live in a
world where lies and deceit is worn as garment by people yet they boldly parade
themselves as the all-righteous. Something remain unshaken, those who live
their lives calling black white may accumulate great riches, live for many
decades and gain access to the mightiest palaces, still peace will elude them,
while those who chose to live by the truth and lead a righteous life may not
last forever on the face of the earth but will attain the highest height of
inner peace and live a blissful and fulfilled life.
The days of our lives
should be to stay united and merry with one another but the selfishness in us
keeps our hearts far away from each other. The act we pull every day is to
pretend we are fine with one another even when our hearts are bitter towards
another; we fool each other with our fake love for another just to have our way
and get things done. As i say this, you may begin to feel bad of your
pretentious attitude towards people, but i have felt same way many times, this
is what we have gotten ourselves into, we all have been caught in the claw of
deception, pretense and lies for each other, we just don’t seem to understand
why we do it but we keep doing it. Often, you may have said to yourself i am a
truthful and frank person but the people you relate with will eventually drag
you into the mess, many times you give in because you want to be peaceful or
have your way because your so called sincerity and truthfulness is getting you
nowhere and creating for you more enemies, to settle it all, we then say the
world is for the wise, you say the truth when it is convenient, keep mute when
you feel unsafe or paint an acceptable picture when you have no choice but have
to give your opinion and gradually you pull off the helmet of truth on your
head.
