Choices
How much we suppress ourselves because the
people around us get used to a set image of us! It is really incredible, isn't it?
And you automatically match that image because it is "expected" of
you. But YOU may not get the same from others. When you conform, you have to
continue to conform, or run the risk of heavy criticism and build a steel armor
for yourself for it.
I had to share this post because I do
believe we shy away from growing because it means change and too many boats can
get rocked. The choice may not be easy, but to grow is the purpose of the soul
and why it has come here in the first place. Actually, therefore, there IS no
choice.

The quality of the gifts
"Can love be measured by the hours in
the day?" This line from the song from the movie "Love Story" is
one of the most beautiful lines I have heard. Can love be measured, period? What
is its measure, in any relationship?
Is it the amount of time spent together? Is
it the number of gifts exchanged the quality of the gifts? Maybe, branded gifts
as a measure of love? Or, daily calls? ... I don't know. All these seem to be
very important today.
I wonder if empty hands but a heart full of
love would suffice? Would it show in the warmth of affection in my eyes? In my
smile that lights up my face? In my bear hug greeting in my travelling miles to
be with someone on a special day. In the pain I feel ....or if my day starts
and ends with someone.
I wonder at how people judge you and
consider you fit for their friendship or love. What would be that criteria?
I wonder how people measure love in its
many forms. How many forms do they see? How many are they able to see? And how
do they interpret what they see.
I wonder.......all the time.... why there
is no common benchmark for love which can sustain the peace and togetherness on
this earth.
