underneath

the stars

"I'll wait for you"

they told me I was crazy

I dreamt the sky radiated blue

but the doctors had cleared me and

said it was just a case of too much missing you.

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of life's
longing for itself
'They come through you but not from you.
And though they are with you yet the
belong not to you.
You may give them your love
but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You mat strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.'

-Khalil Gibran-

When men become ungrateful, they are never poorer;

When men become ungrateful, they tend to be greedy;

When men become greedy, they are hard to be pleased, constantly thinking that they are more superior than others despite the fact that they are heading the wrong path of life;

When men become ungrateful, they are fast to judge a good advice as jealous criticism;

When men become ungrateful, they will achieve their goals by all means, mercilessly removing their closest friends who obstruct their way;

When men become ungrateful, they will feel lonely, yet defending their egoism and instead seek for God’s company;

When men become ungrateful, the God will reluctantly answer their every call for their prayers are full of hatred and they pray with a subtle mind;

When men become ungrateful, they try their very best to defend their dignity, yet denying others of their rights;

When men become ungrateful, they are just a bunch of sarcastic hooligans, seeking support and agreement from innocent beings;

When men become ungrateful, that’s when they lose sense of the meaning of life, trust, friends, dignity and self-conscience;

When men become ungrateful, their hearts are as hard as diamond;

When men become ungrateful, they try to be clever and smart, but others with true sight ridicule them as cunning foxes who are too retarded to understand the definition of ethical and moderation;

When men become ungrateful, they have more friends than foes, not knowing that their so-called friends will pawn on them at their most vulnerable time;

When men become ungrateful, the surrounding people cannot help but give out a sigh of disappointment;

When men become ungrateful, it is indeed very scary.

So, friends out there…… Be grateful of what you have. All of us have goals to be achieved and fulfilled in life, but please do have a wise approach, or else at the end of the day, you will lose much more than what you can gain.
