Something on love

They say that when love is true, it will be so strong that it can endure anything. They say that when love is true, it will encompass everything about you, it will accept, appreciate, and understand.

Pittyful to some people who lived their lives without being able to truly love and care for someone. True, there are fears, hurtings and you may not even be able to cope up for awhile, but until our last breathe, life will go on and it will only go on beautifully and meaningfully with love.

How wonderful it is, to have someone to think about before the day ends. How lucky it is to care for someone, to wonder if the person had eaten well? If he/she had a nice day?

At times, we will feel sadness and disappointments but to feel like this... shouldn't we be glad we're able to feel them because we love? Isn't the happiness worth all that sadness and fear?

Love never fails (atleast True Love doesn't). It is only people who fails. Love exists for friends, for partners, for family, for people we know, for people we pitty and even for people we hate. Love is everywhere! and No matter how we think of love, we believe its existence and importance, only, we are too afraid to make ourselves vulnerable to it.

Being strong doesn't mean that you don't love, fear is a manifestation of weakness. If you do not love because of fear, then you've missed out half of your life.The first step to living a fulfilled and happy life is to learn to love. To open yourself to others, to make yourself vulnerable to other people, yet be strong to fall and fail and to stand up again.

Do not be afraid to show your feelings. You might say that it's hard to express it, but it would be hard keeping the feelings to yourself. Remember, we only live this lifetime... once.

" Love doesn't divide, it multiplies. Thus I do not believe that true love is to be given only once in a lifetime. Only it comes one at a time. "

A Game of Poker

Sometimes, life really is just but a game of poker. Common things in life and poker- in both, losing and winning doesn't really matter instead it is how you played the game that counts. Of course, you will need a bit of luck here and there. But you see, everyone has a fair chance of that luck which makes it very interesting. You have to know when to fold, when to check and when to call or even raise. You have many choices in every game, you may choose to play safe and fold but you cannot play safe forever. You can choose to check, you'd be lucky if everyone chooses to check just like you did, but if they don't, you still have to make a decision, to fold or call. We can also choose to call and even raise with the right cards, this time we choose to take a risk. A risk because you are never sure that you are going to win, it would still depend on the combinations of the other 5 cards. In poker, just like in life, you may lose even when played the game right. You may even lose, given the right cards.

In life, we'd never know what the future holds. All we really know are the information available to us right now, just like the 2 cards in the poker. It is up to us how we are going to make use of that information and how we want to play the game. There is no guarantee of winning. Not all rich people wins in the game of life. Not all poor loses. Not all smart people wins, sometimes it is the ignorant that makes the most out of life.

Life is jut a game where we play it in our own special way. There are rules, there are players, there is risk and there is luck. So really, it doesn't matter if you think you became the most successful man in the whole world, or if you invented the light bulb or the plane. Because at the end, you are still to evaluate how you lived your life... happily? contended? or sad? and disappointed? Would you say "i should've took that risk.. maybe..." or would we think "what if i bluffed my way out.. ?"

"Life isn't really about winning or losing, rather it's about how the game was played, how life was lived."
