I used to be scared of losing the people I thought will give the same amount of care as I did, I used to think setting aside my happiness will make them stay but still, most of them left me, and most of them had walked away .
Now, I do not run after those who decided to leave...
Je marcherai les yeux fixés sur mes pensées , Sans rien voir au dehors , sans entendre aucun bruit Seul , inconnu , le dos courbé , les mains croisées , Triste , et le jour pour moi sera comme la nuit...
Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow... Halil Cibran
I saw the truth; I have seen and know that people can be beautiful and happy without losing the power to live on earth. I will not and cannot believe that evil is the natural state of human kind. And it's just my faith that they laugh at. But how can I help believe it?
