Empathy!Do I have it?

BP and I used to spend hours together discussing art,literature and the rest of the stuff in the world.The frequency matching was awesome in many ways;except for one issue.BP always claimed that I lacked empathy.This issue had troubled me for years!Was i really a person with no empathy.I didnt know that time.

Years have passed.Now MP claims the same.Is it true that I lack empathy or is it my impatience that gets to people.I believe its the second.MP would never agree to that.I beg to differ.In the recent past I have been able to understand people:acquaintances, students and other family members.I have been able to empathize with them and be a support that they want.

Its my firm belief that empathy is a response to the way one acts and reacts.It is dictated by an individuals attitude and action.One should be willing to let go of barriers for the love to flow.It is then that true empathy exists instead of sympathy!

BP and MP: You both were wrong!

P: Missing being with you!!

A Sparkling smile;

Inspiring Poems

Mother to Son
by
Langston Hughes


Well, son, I'll tell you:
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor
Bare.
But all the time
I'se been a-climbin' on,
And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners,
And sometimes goin' in the dark
Where there ain't been no light.
So, boy, don't you turn back.
Don't you set down on the steps.
'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.
Don't you fall now
For I'se still goin', honey,
I'se still climbin',
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

``````````````````````````````````

Hope Abides

Hope abides; therefore I abide.
Countless frustrations have not cowed me.
I am still alive, vibrant with life.
The black cloud will disappear,
The morning sun will appear once again
In all its supernal glory.

Duality of Life!

Sometimes life comes at you fast and you don’t really realize what is going on. We seldom take time to observe this. We keep moving on. I am at a point where I need to restructure and re-strategize my life. From shifting fields of interest, to trying to mend a non-existing relationship, to being in the middle of a cat fight, to making sure that a few children have a peaceful night’s sleep: the last few months have been insane. I realize I have been making some of the mistakes that I have made before. I learn yet again that detachment is what keeps one away from sadness. That happiness and sadness are twin sisters who are essentially the same.D
reams of flying, of elephants chasing in temples, of tsunamis, of loss : they plague me too constantly. Family and friends are both a source, as well as a drain on my energy. Hah! The duality of life!

Love: For believers in God!

Just because you dont see God, do you give up seeking him/her?

Love is such.To have not felt it or experienced it or failed at it: It doesnt mean you give up the search.

Love exists in several forms.You just need the patience and perseverance to find it!
