We have to remember…
That people who intentionally hurt us are hurting inside
They take it out on us sometimes because we are there
They take it out on anyone to release the pain they are feeling
It’s all about what they are going through and how they choose to release their pain
Understanding where they are coming from helps us
It does not excuse their behavior
It does not mean that you should allow abuse
And you should not react in vengence
It simply means, to me, that I am glad I am not them
“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
Dr.Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
Around the corner I have a friend
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone
And I never see my old friends face
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then.
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game
Tired of trying to make a name
Tomorrow I say! ‘I will call on Jim
Just to show that I’m thinking of him.’
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows
Around the corner, yet miles away,
Here’s a telegram sir,’ ‘Jim died today..’
And that’s what we get and deserve in the end
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late.
Seize the day. Never have regrets.
And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have
helped make you the person that you are today. You
What Has Been In Your Life Up TIll Now Has Nothing To Do With What Still Can Be
