Why is it that today ashes are a sign of destruction, when before they were a sign of a new start?
Why is it that today everyone is willing to save their own, yet not willing to help save others?
Why is it so easy for people to judge others based on their way of life, but so hard for them to judge people based on the ways of their heart?
Every year a tree loses its leaves, but almost every year they grow back and its like they never were gone in the first place.
After every fire the ashes will blow away.
People see a stone as a stone and a pebble as a pebble. Does anyone ever wonder if that pebble was once a stone?
Why is it that after death its so easy for people to remember the death, but so hard for them to remember the life?
Everyone remembers themselves, bases life and judgement on their religion. Well what ever happened to Love thy neighbor?
Why is it so easy for a person to walk the other way instead of fight for what they believe? If they truely believed as strongly as they say, wouldn't it be easy for them to fight for it no matter the result?
Love (now): The one person they want to be with. Not the one person they want to sleep with or look at, to just be their one and only.
Love(then): A person to be with, cherish, fight for and beside, only one to look at (no need to look at another). All in all their true one and only.
Why is it that no one is willing to rekindle their relationship? If things get tough they just walk away or let it fall apart instead of going out and reestablishing the fun that was there. Isn't that what loves about? Giving it your all, a true fighting chance, until all ideas and possibilites have been exhausted?
Why is it so easy for people to donate to charities, but not a needy single mother working 2 jobs with 5 kids, scraping the bottom just to barely get by? Shouldn't that be the easiest because you see them everyday and the effects are right there?
Friendship: loyalty, someone to talk to and trust. To be there for you no matter what and not make judgement. Someone to have by your side when all else fails to help you pick up the pieces. Right?
People go through life worring about their next paycheck or who has the best car, most money, best house. No one ever takes time to just stop lay in the dew dropped grass and look up at the stars, or the wide open blue sky with all its wonders to be seen. Then when they grow old they wonder why they have so little to show for all the time spent, and those that do take the time to smell the roses are just fine letting time go.
Cherish your days, all those that walk into your life good or bad, your family, loved ones and friends, cherish everyday as if it were your last because you never know when it just may be exactly that.
What happened to looking back and being happy with how little you may have simply because your worked for it and earned every bit of it? Now everyone is never happy with what they have got and so many are intent on getting somewhere by doing nothing. Where did the person go that wanted to earn everything they got, be as good to those as possible and be happy with that?
Why is it so hard to find a loyal good person to be with? When you do why is it so easy to find every flaw in them? What happened to a loyal person loving you to the fullest, willing to move heaven and earth just to make you happy and vise versa?
Why is it so easy for people to listen to songs of violence, yet so hard for them to listen to songs that are truely about love?
Why is it so easy for people to grind on one another and dance fast, and so hard for them to take the time to slow dance, enjoy the comfort of the closeness of the one you love and the time you get to spend holding them close. And in the end not being happy the song ended but wishing it was so much longer?
Trust me there will be more. These are only a few scant thoughts. Those of you who have read and are touched feel free to add to it and thanks for your time. Maybe these will get through to a few. Although there are a few that i know will agree because we think alike, i hope you have more to add. Thanks
Sincerely,
Brizzy?
No shit...
How come it's easier to say you're going to leave than it is actually doing it?
How come there are millions of people bitching about everybody else's children while their children are out committing acts of immoral nature?
How come it's easier to give advice than it is to listen to your own or someone else's advice?
Why is it, at 37, I'm starting to "get it". Why couldn't I have had a lot of this shit figured out when I was 17 and felt immortal and powerful?
See what you started Britt? Thanks for the thoughts... makes one want to sit back and count every little blessing so that the pains of life are lessened by love and gratefulness.
I love you Baby! Stay strong and obstinate and NEVER let go of who you really are!!
all of the whys and what ifs. Its amazing to hink about how much the world is changing...but it is. I agree with what you have said. I hope your quiet reflection gives you answers...and peace within your self. Dont you know that is where all of your ansews lie...in you? You wont find them in anyones comments sweetie. You already know what you want to know. You are an lod soul...much like myself. Smell the flowers...and take that time to gaze at the sky...and lie in the grass...and ponder the stars and all of the wonders of space and time. I believe we are of a select few from our generation who do those things.
