THOUGHTS: WORDS ARE SO IMPORTANT

It was just yesterday that I was thinking about so many words that we use often, perhaps without realising their significance or effect on each of our daily lives and those interacting with us. Recently there are a lot of words that bother me and perplex me because I find it difficult to understand the relevance of it in my life... they seem to be losing its meaning or perhaps its significance... words they may be but their effect on me is great and profound. Some of them I have listed and interpreted it in my own humble way.

* Love : Heard this from my granny ... " Loving someone means finding happiness in that of your dear one's "... this definition seems so sublime and the perfect one that I don't seem to have any other to replace it.

I also believe in another definition of love, which goes something like this : loving someone means never letting your beloved shed a drop of tear coz your tears are precious. So one who makes you cry means he/she doesn't love you enough for they don't value those precious pearls that flow down your eyes onto the hard stony floor.

Loving someone also means when living without someone is more difficult than living with someone... ( trust me its very true...distance makes the heart grow fonder, not proximity )

Loving someone means never having to say to how much you sacrificed or compromised, but accepting the way he/she is... ( best example are our parents who love us although we might be weak and ugly, loving without expectation...the most unselfish love on earth ) .

* Peace : How do you define it?... I feel peace lies within you, it lies in self contentment ... it lies in absolute faith in God ... fools search for peace in the ephemeral world of ours... look within !

* Self- respect : I've heard many a times and more so now that men can live without anything but not without a self respect... its only when one loves and values oneself that one would pose worthwhile in the eyes of all ... But does it ever happen that one loses sight of this perspective and pay no heed to it having surrendered to love eternal? ... is it wrong?... don't know ! I'm confused coz I seem to forget its essence when faced by one so dear to me, all willing to surrender.

* Happiness : My dad always said and I believe it blindly ... happiness lies within oneself, not in things surrounding... no doubt some people find happiness when they have nothing at all and some find sorrow despite having all... wish I could find it in the lil beauties of life ... I sometimes feel I still am that small kid who finds joy in trifle matters like having chocolates, icecreams or perhaps even watching cartoon network :-D

* Trust : Very easy to lose but hard to gain it back ... It takes years to build and seconds to fall apart ...what is blind trust?... does it exist in the reality? ... a simple word that binds lives innumerable...

* Forgiveness : I've read the bible many a times in my school days but never realised the importance of this word untill now... a very powerful act which people with great hearts can perform ... you all must be familiar with the phrase " forgive and forget ". Wish people practised it in their life then life would perhaps seemed a lil less harsh and unjust... I've found it easier to forgive but hard to forget... wish I could be a better human being and forget them too...perhaps no one is greater than the Almighty.

* Hatred : This is as powerful an emotion as love ... If you ever say your enemy you hate him that means he/she affects you. So the best way to deal with them is ( not bother yourself with emotions so vile and damaging that does more harm than good )to prove that they are not even worth that emotion ( why bother yourself with emotions so vile and damaging that does more harm than good )... often you hate them whom you happen to have loved the most too ... I too happen to be consumed in this powerful emotion and hope can rise above this petty, self destructive emotion which I bear for that soul.

These are the very few emotions or words that I confront daily in my life at present ... the meaning of many seem ambiguous, vague, baffling... the significance of which I still am unable to identify and seldom forget to relate.

Do you have a better definition of the words I find difficult to comprehend? are there any words in your list which you like to talk about?... please do so, I'm here to listen and read :-)
