On Honesty and Comfort

The following thoughts are, admittedly, not purely my own. As for whether I bear the same opinion or not, well, it takes a bit of imagination, I guess. xD


Listen, child. Live happily and smile. When you frown and growl, you are just adding even more reasons for people to detest you, to make your life even more miserable. There are weaknesses in sad faces and there are cracks in despairs. You know how greedy people can be; they'll do anything so they can feel like a winner in life, even if it means stomping down on fallen people. When you are happy, you can spread it to the atmosphere. Also, you may spot jealousy more easily. Emotion is one confusing bundle of tangled webs. More guidelines, the better.

Meet merry people and let sunlight enter your chamber. Darkness and shadows are plenty, as sooner or later you will realise. On the other hand, time proceeds faster when you're happy. It's easier to find shades than to light a fire in the darkness. There will be a time you can help but there will be a time when you'd need help. 

Child, friends and companions, you see, are very important regardless. With them weak people can be very tough. Without them strong people can be very vulnerable. Add kindness to your life like you'd add eggs and milk to your dough. Make it essential and allow it to be beautiful. In the centre of it all, put something strong and powerful as your core. Put your Faith, guard it tight and let it guard you in return.

Appreciate gentleness and other fine virtues. Appreciate a lot of things. Appreciate the flowers in springs, the warmth of summer and dry seasons, the gently falling rain in falls and the snowflakes in winters. The azure blue sky in the day, the mystic illusions of fog and the moon in the night. Clouds are shades. Storms, cyclones and breezy winds make leaves dance and windmills turn, yet they can be majestically powerful. Appreciate the very planet you're going to spend the rest of your life on. Your food will taste slightly better and your drinks will sooth you good. In a life, there will be a lot of vile traps and drains. Emptiness can be clean yet deceiving, so be careful on that and it will help if you know how you should replenish.

Value imaginations. Treat your mind well. Physical and mental health. Your mind is as real as your thoughts. Indeed, nothing can replace real deeds. In the same flow of logic, nothing can replace your brewing ideas and it takes both to complete the quality. Never deny the existence of either. Rotting in the insides is just as horrible or worse. Either way, it'll stink. 

Keep your promises and make empty promise a taboo for yourself. That being said, be very careful in making promises, the way you'll be in making wishes. You don't want to make a wrong promise with the wrong people. I've mentioned kindness. It is warm and fine, but it can bind you. Bond can be a promise of great times ahead, or the otherwise. 

Yes, every coins have two sides instead of one. You can't appreciate love fully without knowing hatred. Kindness and other virtues are treasures, and we tend to value treasures more when they are rare. Life, my dear, has much more in store than these hints in this short excerpt can tell. While you may find the word "paradox" intriguing now, I am warning you that one day, you may as well find yourself overwhelmed by it all of the sudden. The rest of it, unfortunately, is a black rabbit hole of mystery. Charm and infatuation are gravitating around the word, "enigma". And those are exactly what it is about.

Of course, you can stay here as long as you want now and I won't leave you. I'll be here and I'll wish you many good things. I'll pray for you. You can even rest your limbs and we can pray together. And when you've done enough,

rise

and 

smile.
