Life is contradicting don't you think so ?
For a moment you feel that everything around you is going fine , and you're happy .
then you start to realize that these happy things are actually your downfall .
you grow too dependent on everything making you happy , and when it begins to fade away , it's like you lost hope . Its like you're life comes crashing down . bursting into fragments which become impossible to fix back .
But these are the kind of challenges that God offers us to let us learn . Everyone learns from mistakes . If everything in life goes smoothly and there are no faults , you don't learn .
Most of the time , we learn to love . To understand the other partner . To recognize his or her significance to our presence . To offer our love , to show how much we care for the other partner . Just so our partner knows how much he or she means to us . But we don't learn just by reading about it . We learn from experience . Nobody gets it perfect the first time . Not even me .
We live to learn to love .
Another important chapter of our lives that all of us will go through is meeting new friends .
Everybody makes friends . It's that immediate connection between people that allows us to communicate and socialize . Most of the times friends make you happy . We share jokes together , experiences together , problems together . To work as a team and move forward . Together , we build the stepping stones of our lives up to our highest peak , determining who we are . Friends either make you or break you . That is why you have to choose your friends wisely . Mix with the wrong type of friends and you'll be influenced for life . But for the good or the bad , friends always make you laugh till your tummy hurts .
We live to learn to laugh .
And one chapter that everybody has to go through is losing . Everybody loses , but nobody wants to . But loss is inevitable . From losing in a simple game of chess , to losing the ones you hold dear to your heart . Losing in a simple game of chess - seems like a game only , but it can show about your character . About how big your pride and ego is . If you're okay with losing in a game of chess , and you don't mind playing again to challenge yourself , it shows you're a person of humble character . A person who is forward looking and always perseveres . Somebody who learns from their mistakes . But if you're the kind of person who gets mad and does not want to accept defeat , it shows how egoistic you are of a person . You don't want to accept the fact that others are better than you . You are persistent that you're still the best . Get what i'm trying to say ?
Losing the ones you love - its a constant phase in life that we all go through . As humans , we can't avoid death . At some point in time , we will definitely have to say goodbye to friends and families who are no longer with us . But we have to stay strong and move on . Definitely you will feel remorseful about losing the ones you love . But we have to be happy for them . They are now on their way to a much safer and happier place . We should be thankful that they are now in the hands of God . If we love them , we'll let them go . It takes alot of strength and will to accept the fact they are no longer with us . But we must . Where there is life , there is death .
We live to learn to lose .
