The Little things that matter

 

You know about one of those random people and their acts that just make your day? Something like that happened to me. Yesterday I was in the store trying to choose between two identical products, but I really was just standing there lost in my thoughts blocking the entire aisles. This old man trying to come through stopped to say hi, and made his way between my cart, my thoughts, and I.
I don’t know how much time elapsed, but he eventually came back through the aisle were I was still standing staring at the same items… Or at life.
He asked me if I was deciding, and somehow he woke me up. I tried to answer but I couldn’t get a word out. Just nodded my head in half a smile. I must have been carrying the misery of the world on my face because he stood there with me for a minute and gave me a warm smile that translated to me as : “Everything will be ok child”. He dug in his pocket and handed me a handful of candy… (I am grown enough to accept candy from stranger.)
He brought tears to my eyes and warmed my heart.

What made me happy is that, at times when you think that everything is going bad and nothing good is left in the world, you see these little acts of kindness and a little faith in humanity is restored.

One simple act of kindness or humanity could mean the world to somebody

Opinions

I’ll start this by saying I am a VERY opinionated person and a vocal one at that!

Opinions are who we are, our morals, values and beliefs…..

Opinions are what make the world an interesting place. A world without different opinions would be a boring place….

Opinions are what make us who we are as an individual. They are based off things we have learned since day one, they are based off beliefs we have and the morals and values we stand on. It’s sad that our opinions are also 90% of the reason why we fight and treat others like crap. They are the number one reason why people make fun of others and find reasons to break someone’s spirit. It’s sad that we can’t just live knowing that you won’t always agree with someone but that is okay. It’s sad that people can’t agree to disagree and move on instead they feel the need to make fun, call names and belittle one another. I wonder if for one day you chose to allow others to have their point of view and you have yours and it still be okay if you’d realize how much happier you would be.

Run

I need to run
I need to hide
I have to find out what’s locked up inside.
To see the truth beneath the cover
Unlock the secrets
That have been there forever.
To release the stress that has been ingrained
To reduce the power of those who have so long reined.
Alone I must run away from this place
And this shall be my saving grace

 

Why the world doesn’t want you to be happy

I’m going to share with you a snippet of Matt Haig book’s “Reasons to stay alive”, this is very thought provoking about how the world manipulate our minds, I would like to know your opinions about this matter.

The world is increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn’t very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more? How do you sell an anti-ageing moisturizer? You make someone worry about ageing. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about immigration. How do you get them to buy insurance? By making them worry about everything. How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. How do you get them to watch a TV show? By making them worry about missing out. How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are being left behind. To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non-upgraded existence. To be comfortable with our messy, human selves, would not be good for business.

Those Eyes

Your eyes cast a spell on me

They are magnetic, electric and addictive

Sending me waves of pure unconditional love

You look at me like I’m something precious, unordinary and special

Your eyes reminds me that I have something to live for

Someone to fight for, someone to love

You make me feel like I can conquer the world

And nothing can get in my way

Let Me Save You

How do you save someone from themselves?

It’s true what they say

Good people suffer the most and you are the best

Echoes of your past still haunts you

Pushing you to sink deeper in the abyss

But I hope you will find me in the end

There, I’m going to hunt for every little broken pieces of yours

And put them back together

Until one day you will again sing your lovely song

Your Eyes

Your eyes dry up the rain and melt the snow

Through your eyes you took me to places I’d never gone

And showed me things I’d never known

The only time I ignore the world around me is

When l look into your beautiful eyes

Without your eyes I’d be stuck in an unknown land

Without a way out or even oxygen to breath
