ABOUT LOVE...

A lot of people have a lot of different thoughts about love. I just use the Bible as a standard when it comes to what love really is.

            "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 1 corinthians 13.

 Shakespeare said;  "love is not love which alters when it alteration finds, or bends with the remover to remove. O no! It is an ever fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken;..." that is an extract from Shakespeare's Sonnet 116.

One true thing we can all agree on is when we have love, we can make it through anything. "Greater love  has no man than this; than to lay down his life for his friend ". Christ did that for the whole world. If you ask me, that's setting the best example. We might not lay down our life for someone but we can show those in our lives just how much they mean to us everyday. Love for family, love for that special someone, love for friends and neighbors. It's worth thinking about at the very least.

We'll be just fine

I've heard it times without number that one's whole life flashes before their eyes in a near death experience and that the very thing you care for the most is the last thought on your mind. I didn't have a near death experience to see this, i only stumbled on a DVD player in my closet to have these flashes. As i packed my stuffs, my chest got heavier, i had to weep, release some pain. I listened to Emily Greene's "Just fine" over and again. Didn't quite get all the lyrics but here's how i heard it.
                           
                                         JUST FINE LYRICS - EMILY GREENE
I’m so tired of wasting my time, 
Being worried, ill and unkind.
If I could stop my panic,
Abandon my troubles,
Let go of my doubts…
Maybe then

I’d be just fine
I’ll be just fine
Just Fine

I’m so busy thinking about tomorrow,
I’m forgetting today.
Stark swimming through molasses
Caught watching life as it passes
Letting time blow away… 

But I’ll be just fine
Just fine 

Wishing for good days 
Wishing for happy ones
Wishing for good days 
Wishing for happy ones                      
                 
                         As i listened, i thought if we could really stop our panic, abandon our troubles and let go of our doubts, we'll be just fine. The thing is; it's easier said than done. I'm gonna miss this place, but change is a part of life and i guess, it's time to move on from here.
