Life? Never Heard That Game Before

You’re 16 and she’s 15. You are both madly in love with each other. Congratulations!

You’re inseparable. Maybe you’ll both die if ever separated. Admirable!

You want to spend the rest of your life with her.

Oooooops. Think twice.

Marriage is “Till death do us part” just in case you overlooked something.

Do you really want either of you to die  before you can be separated?

“For richer or poorer”

What if you ain’t rich? Can you live with galungong every day of your life?

“In sickness or in health”

If you are both healthy, great! What if one of you will be bed-ridden for life?

“For better or for worse”

You are jobless. With 5 children. What you gonna do now?

Run away as many parents do!

Life is not a fantasy.

Life is not a dream.

Life is not a game.

GET REAL!

Why Are You Not Happy

We always strive to be happy,
yet, we remain as we are...sad.

During our life time, there always remains unresolved conflicts.
We tend to dwell in them, thus, being unable to move on.

Maybe we are still bitter of what happened to us, blaming
somebody for it.

Until we realize that the past is past,
we can no longer do something about it. It's history!

Unless we learn to "forgive those who have done wrong"
and "forgive ourselves", we shall remain in the shadow of the past.

Now, isn't it about time to move on?
Life is still beautiful.
We only make it ugly.
