Friendship

A friend is the one who tells you the truth
regardless of the cost,
A friend will help you find the things
you'd given up as lost.

A friend will never put you down
or make you feel alone,
He'll smile and try to comfort you
'cause together you have grown.

A friend is the one who picks you up
when you've fallen on the ground,
A friend is the one whose voice at night
is a welcome, warming sound.

So when you think you're on your own
and wish you had a helping hand,
Remember, a friend is the one who,
when you cry, will always understand.

Because the world is full of people
who will laughingly pretend,
But, when it's sad and down
you're lucky if you've got a friend ...



Is this true....I think so

When you've made mistakes and bad decisions
Who can you count on to tell you you're wrong?
When you feel you can't go on
Who will be there with a feel-better song?

Look into your heart and you will find
That person you can trust is not far away.
Look deep into yourself, don't give up,
For if you do, it's yourself you'll betray.

When you're looking for answers
To all your questions and dreams,
There is one person you can count on,
It's impossible, I know, it seems.

But take a few moments to look deeper inside.
Look into your heart and there you will see.
You'll be surprised when you find out
Who that person is.

God ways of teaching me a lesson

I think this is worth reading even though it is somewhat funny and unconventional.

Once there is a girl in a small town who had gone through many painful experiences in her life. She did't have anyone to tell her pain because she knew that people were going to laugh at her, so she turned to God and kept on pouring her heart out. In the beginning she kept on complaining God why all these things happened to her, why she was chosen for it, why she was made to go through it even though she didn't do anything wrong. She knew for sure that she didn't deserve all those things happening to her. She had so many questions in her mind without a single answer. She kept on nagging God everyday with the same questions but never got an answer to it.
So many years have passed and she almost gave up but one day something happened. She doesn't know till now whether to call it a miracle or self realisation. It was a beautiful Sunday morning of autumn season, she has just finished her breakfast and went to her room to complete some of her chores. Suddenly she heard someone laughing, she looked around but there was nobody. Then a voice said "My dear child have you ever try to experience what real suffering is, have you ever seen people in real pain, then you should look at a blind person walking with a smile on his face. His smile doesn't mean that he is not in pain, his ability to smile genuinely even when he is in pain means that he has conquered over his pain and realised that there is a reason behind it. Comparing to his, yours is not even a pinch of salt in the great sea of sorrow. So stop nagging me I have more important things to do and don't waste my time" and the voice started laughing again.
The little girl was a little taken back but she again said, "why me of all people with tears in her eyes". At that time she she felt a soft hand on her head and the voice smiled gently and said again,"Everyone on this earth has a scar in their life because life without a scar is a shallow life. And those whom I really trust get the hardest burden because I need them to be really strong to perform the task I choose for them". Then the voice smiled again and continue" Now you must be knowing why I chose that path for you".
The little girl suddenly opened her eyes and look around but she was alone on her bed. But there was a genuine smile on her face which wasn't there for a long time. Now she knew answer to every single question. At the same time she was a little embarrassed for not fully believing in God.
She prayed to God and made a promise that she will never complain of her life. And she finally felt that she was reborn again.

life is strange

Life is so strange and diverse that at times you feel like it's not yours any more. When you put your life on your palm and watch all the aspects of life like sorrow, happiness, joy, victory, failure unfold in the form of a rainbow it's kind of facinating. You become fully mesmerised by it that you are out of touch with the world. It's beauty is so drugging that you forget how time pass. You can keep on pulling every thread of each aspect but it's never going to end. You can spend your whole life on it thinking why this why that but it's never going to change.

I had half heartedly believed that everything happens for a reason so I wasted a lot of times on speculating and trying to find meaning in every rainbow of my life but it was of no use. But the one good thing I gain from this experience is that now I am able to fully believe that everything happens for a reason whether good or bad.
