A Friend We All Need …

 

We all need someone , someone to hear us , someone to talk to , someone to cry with us . There’s gotta be always someone .

There are times when we wish to have no one around . When we are so upset that we can’t even let a friend share . But have you ever wondered how selfish and mean you are by this act. Because you simply should know that this is not your problem alone ; that this not your own sorrow but your friend’s as well. While you try to keep your friend away , you don’t notice that your hurting them . They are going through the same pain . True friends won’t leave you and will keep knocking your door no matter how your shut it & say ” Go Away ! I don’t want to talk to anyone “ They stay and stay and wait until you calm down and start talking .

Maybe they can’t really change it or help out. But the fact that you shared with them will mean a lot to your friendship and maybe both of you can do find a way out. It’s all  about the values it carries.

” It is the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter. “~Marlene Dietrich

I was alone , I found books & papers my best friend. I kept distance from my friends . Until I realized that I really needed someone to hug me & talk to. As much as I got used to loneliness as much I can understand how dark it is to be alone. Walking in the darkness with a friend holding your hand is much better than walking in the light alone.

For all those who are alone ; there will come a time that you will badly wish to have a friend you can  trust with your life. But before finding a friend – try to be one .

Let those who are around you realize it and share your life . Let them share your happiness , your sadness , your problems , your tears……… let them share your dreams ad hopes too. Because life will be sweeter then. At least at that time you will know that there is someone out there worried about you and cares a lot.

Hard times proves who sticks around and so are friends if they don’t’ show up when you need then why say ” A friend in need is a friend indeed “.

Friendship is a complicated relationship  , it goes through a lot of hardships , changes and troubles . True friends manage to go through all that and yet they love each other and stay together. That’s what friendship is all about after all  ” To Stay Together Forever “

 

Dedicated to a dear friend of mine .

A Psalm Of Life

A Psalm O f Life   by  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.

Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day.

Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.

In the world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!

Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act,–act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o’erhead!

Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;–

Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.

Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

Trust In God

Sometimes we may want something badly , we might be convinced that this thing is right for us but it might not be so.

It could be something you want to buy. It could  be a person you loved. It could be a travel you wanted to go . But the destiny was there to stop it all and it didn’t happened as you wanted.

Don’t be sad for what has gone.. Co’z God knows what’s best for us and therefore best plans are awaiting you . Do trust Him .

With warm wishes ,

Hoope

Doubts

We doubt even ourselves in some times.

The challenges of life  ; the hardships of life ; the sorrow of life makes us not sure of what to do ? when to do ? and even how to do it ? How to live the days of  our life more peacefully and more happily . We have learnt alot in schools and yet we doubt how to handle things . Are we capable of doing it ???

There were times that i didn’t know who i am nor who i want to be . Other times i didn’t find myself.

Can life be more simple ? Can we be more clear about what we want ?

In this post i can’t be more optimistic as i always try to be …. beacuse i even began to doubt if i am an optimistic person.

When we, humans began to doubt things around us -we are beginning to lose them . Just like how Benjamin Franklin said ” When in doubt , don’t”

And when we doubt our abilities we give the doubt the strenght to get into everything.

We doubt our actions, we doubts our friends, we doubts our family , we doubt the ability of love and then we end up doubting ourselves.

So don’t let that happen to you . And when you doubt just don’t .

Emily Dickinson’s Poetry

This Is A Word

There is a word
Which bears a sword
can pierce an armed man.

It hurls its barbed syllables, —
At once is mute again.
But where it fell
The saved will tell
On patriotic day,
Some epauletted brother
Gave his breath away.

Wherever runs the breathless sun,
Wherever roams the day,
There is its victory!
Behold the keenest marksman!
Time’s sublimest target
Is a soul “forgot”!

My Life Closed Twice Before

My life closed twice before its close;
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me,

So huge, so hopeless to conceive,
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.

Heart , We Will forget Him!

Heart, we will forget him!
You an I, tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.

When you have done, pray tell me
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you’re lagging.
I may remember him!

Hope Is The Thing With Feathers

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I’ve heard it in the chilliest land
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me

 

Let’s Give Peace A chance !

” People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?   ”   

Black Eyed Peas ” Where is the Love “

Its peace we want  and yet we never get . Live pass by and days goes . Poeple die and wars broke everywhere .

Man made it , man made War , and Man created these weapons.  Its not humane at all .

Many years back , we use to blame politicians for their decisions and we believed that others will come who have faith & love and will  change that . Hence , others came and years went by and yet they made the same decision ;  destructions of land , firing attacking and  we lost souls & lands too.

We wanted to create a difference . People like me & you can’t stop wars simply because we didn’t have hand in starting it . But we can claim for it and hope for it .

Things can change if we took a step . If we saved life instead of taking ones. Peace is there , it only needs to be felt !

Politians always say that they have their own calculations , they want statistics ; well here it is :

During the First World War  more than 8,500,000 people died . During the Russsian Civil Wars about 8.5  millions died . During the Second World War about 55 000 000 people died all over the world .

The Post-War Expulsion of Germans from the East Europe (1945-47) had killed about  2 100 000 people .

Chinese Civil War ( 1945-49)  : 2500 000 people

Congo Free State ( 1886-1908) : 8 000 000 people

All that I wrote is facts & data that are registered  and you will find it in the following site .

They are not just numbers , they are people ; children , mothers , fathers and brothers of someone. But they were killed and they are dead now.

What we hope for is a better future for teh people who live in this world. What i don’t understand is how can politician start war or whoever is incharge ; when its not  the right thing to do . When millions of civilians want peace . How can our word be nothing infornt of their’s ????  No answer . And no one to ask .

Lets wish and dream coz we got nothing else left in our hand but a dream to go for . A dream where everyone can live in their homes without the fear of being killed or attacked .

 

” We are not going to deal with the violence in our communities, our homes, and our nation, until we learn to deal with the basic ethic of how we resolve our disputes and to place an emphasis on peace in the way we relate to one another” –  Marian Wright Edleman

 

” Peace is not the product of terror or fear.
Peace is not the silence of cemeteries.
Peace is not the silent result of violent repression.
Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all.
Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity.
It is right and it is duty. ”  Oscar Romero
