What Is Love?

You can’t love anyone or anything until you love your own existence, first.

Love can only grow out of a respect for your own life.

When you love yourself, your own existence, then you love someone who can enhance your existence, share it with you, and make it more pleasurable.

When you hate yourself and believe your existence is evil, then you can only hate, you can only experience the shell of love, that longing for something good.

To truly love someone you must revel in their existence because they make life all the more wonderful. If you think existence is corrupt, then you are sealed off from the fruition of such a relationship, from what love really is.

I Hate Change

Change is good, but not for me.

Change allows you to grow, but I refuse to grow.

I miss the old times. I miss my friends.

And most of all, I miss my old life… brother and sisters taking care of me… parents are without any illnesses.

I can’t stop change, I’m aware of it. But I want to go back to the previous chapters of my life.

I want to see my old life again.

But change won’t let me.

So I’ll just go and sail through.

Choose one

What if you’re standing between two telephone booths and you really need to choose one…

YOU can only choose one.

Left: The one on the left is functioning well, but someone’s inside.

Right: On the right is empty, but you’re not sure if it’s broken.

Are you going to wait for the one on the left even if you’re not sure when the person inside would leave?

Or would you rather take the chance offered by the right booth even if you’re not certain it would work?
