It was Just A Thought!

When I was small, I just thought that life is always at ease. No complications or hassles along the way. But I was wrong, it was just a thought. We're all going through a lot of unexpected turns and turning points, mountain-top and valleys like you've gone through a roller-coaster ride.

It was a funny thing though, at first we cannot imagine ourselves how come we are brought up here. I'm not questioning God or someone out there who ever responsible for all the blame. It's just that it made me paused for awhile and starts to dazzle about the wonders of life.

But whatever it is, we cannot just let ourselves be stagnated by the things going on in this world. I know, it is always been easier to said than done just like what's happening to me. It is really hard to admit to yourself that you needed a change.

Some people may like it or not but why do I care. We are not in this world to live up to their expectations. As long as I know that I'm not stabbing other people's back or stepping on their own rights. As long as I know that Jehovah God is always on my side and He will provide for whatever things may come unforeseen. Keeping all this things on my mind, it just makes me live right throughtout the day.

What about happiness? People has a different connotation in defining what happiness really is. It's like an old cliche that money can't buy happiness or something like that. But people sometimes doesn't know whats the difference between happiness and just a simple pleasure. As a result many online sites are popping in the net claiming that they offer free counsels, lol!

It is said that happiness is psychological because it rooted deep within our spirit, our being as a person and it would last long. While when it comes to pleasure, they say that its physiological; it is the most superficial thing that a person could ever experience in life and the sad truth is that it's just temporarily. I guess, texting is considered as a pleasure, why not?! lol! You can name a few, lol!

When it comes to friends, should we have as many as possible, or is there a limit to the number of one's friends, as there is to the size of a city? You cannot make a city of ten men, and if there are a hundred thousand it is a city no longer. But the proper number is presumably not a single number, but anything that falls between certain fixed points. So for friends too there is a fixed number perhaps the largest number with whom one can live together (for that, we found, thought to be very characteristic of friendship); and that one cannot live with many people and divide oneself up among them is plain.

Further, they too must be friends of one another, if they are all to spend their days together; and it is a hard business for this condition to be fulfilled with a large number. It is found difficult, too, to rejoice and to grieve in an intimate way with many people, for it may likely happen that one has at once to be happy with one friend and to mourn with another.

Presumably, then, it is well not to seek to have as many friends as possible, but as many as are enough for the purpose of living together; for it would seem actually impossible to be a great friend to many people. This is why one cannot love several people; love is ideally a sort of excess of friendship, and that can only be felt towards one person; therefore great friendship too can only be felt towards a few people. This seems to be confirmed in practice; for we do not find many people who are friends in the comradely way of friendship, and the famous friendships of this sort are always between two people.

Those who have many friends and mix intimately with them all are thought to be no one's friend, except in the way proper to fellow-citizens, and such people are also called obsequious. In the way proper to fellow-citizens, indeed, it is possible to be the friend of many and yet not be obsequious but a genuinely good man; but one cannot have with many people the friendship based on virtue and on the character of our friends themselves, and we must be content if we find even a few such...:)

That's all for now!
