Arguments encountered and thoughts when found

 You know what’s funny? It’s the fact that people are so selfish. They’re so brutally, obsessively selfish. They would screw you twice just to save their own neck and at the end of it, never even give it a second thought. Yeah, it is funny how for some time, a few people claim to be best friends and then abandon you? When you need them most, and are at your lowest? Oh yeah anyone can say you weren’t there for them when they want, to you but how many can say 'I was there when you needed me and I gave up everything I had going on just to help you?' Yeah that is pretty funny.

You know what’s funnier? How people choose to BLAME others just because its so much easier to blame it on others than to accept your mistake. Has everyone lost their mind? What has our generation become? For Christ’s sake, these are our own friends, our own family, our own people we’re talking about here.  Is there really no honor left in anyone? People lie fervently and make people BELIEVE  lies so intimately that the whole absurdity of the idea turns into irony! I don’t get why, WHY people are such selfish murderers. Murderers in the sense that they murder pride, honesty, kindness, sometimes even innocence but above all trust. They slaughter the trust that ever was or ever will be because if a person is like me, they’ll apply the ‘Forgive but never forget’ rule. Forgive the mistakes others commit, but scarcely should you forget them. Forgiveness is necessary for the soul and spirit. We need to forgive and come to terms with not just the faults of others, but also our own. Sometimes, forgiving others is easier than forgiving yourself but what we forget is that we can never run from ourselves. Sooner or later, we’ll have to come to terms with the fact that we are who we are, and we’re not perfect. None of us is.  We make mistakes and more than often, we mess up. But it’s the messing up that’s going to teach you what matters most at the end.

  A friend once said to me, ‘at the end of the day, you’re by yourself.’ She lied. Even if you’re alone at the end of the day, you’re not going to abstain from living. Tomorrow will come, and you won’t have to be alone anymore. ‘Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it,’ Dumbledore once wisely said and while this may not be Hogwarts, it is nevertheless true. Not all friends abandon you and not every person you encounter will break you down. There still are good people and hope will always live. Because if it didn’t we wouldn’t be alive would we? And as long as we live, we will continue to rekindle and resurface the hope from inside of us. Live free, die proud, have fun play loud. You may not have moved mountains, but if you moved someone’s heart towards brightness and light, you have done your job for the day. Never underestimate the power of the good that you do, because one day it’s going to come back at you, perhaps at a time of dire need; Karma.

Its been ages since I wrote anything so I apologize for the extremely crude beginning. Its taken quite a while to write something but it feels so good to have let it out. I won’t promise I’ll write again soon but I do hope that writing comes back faster this time.

Till then,

Adios Amigos!

How to handle adversity: Carrot, Eggs and Coffee

Someone mailed this to me and I absolutely loved it. It's such a beautiful and inspirational message; something that really made my day.


Carrot, Eggs and Coffee:

 

A carrot, an egg, and a cup of coffee...You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again.
A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil; without saying
a word.
 
In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl.
 
Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me what you see."
 
"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied.
 
Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg.
 
Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma the daughter then asked, "What does it mean, mother?"
 
Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its insides became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.
"Which are you?" she asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
 
Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?
 
Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?
 
Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
 
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.
 
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
 
Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
 
                  May we all be COFFEE!!!!!!
