Hope Lost

It is pretty sad to see people losing hope.

Generally, my take is that nothing in life is predictable or is anything for sure. Some people have it easy, some people experience a flush of bad luck, where mostly people just suffer from self-inflicted injuries.

Still, I've always thought that it is wiser to just sit back up, spend a little time to wallow in the pain, daze a little bit and then its time to shift the butt and move on. It takes a lot of determination and will to accomplish and definitely it is something easier said than done.

Nonetheless, life is a continuous stream. There are just milestones in which we evaluate ourselves. There is no perennial failure, only continuous self-inflicted pain. Learn to make the right choices. When we grow wiser, there will be less pain.

In all, life is about hoping. When hope is lost, life is lost.

Your choice really.

Beautiful Moments

The beautiful moments in life are the ones that last the shortest.

The explosion of a firework,
The lush pink and purple of twilight,
The candlelight on a birthday cake,
The glow of a firefly in the night,
The first snow drops from the sky,
That moment of genius on a football pitch,
A baby's first word from its mouth,
That moment of vows exchanged in a wedding.

Cherish it while you can. The beauty only lives in memories.
