LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE IT...

Let the other share in the moments that make us laugh and gasp. It’s a turning to yesteryears as we journey through life, and look forward to bright tomorrow. No matter how we brave the storm of life, still we have to go on, like nobody else has ever done before.

Love is self-discovery and self-fulfillment, through healthy growth with, and for the other person. Real love will grow as the years go by. A deep and abiding love is the emotional response to an intellectual recognition of the truth about the person. The art of love is patience till spring returns. But what we have really loved can never be lost. Its influence on our personality is always with us and perhaps even death does not take it away.

It also sees faults as well as virtues, unhesitatingly accepting the fact that no one is perfect. Love says, and with honest feeling, “I know that differences in our energy and tempo will annoy both of us until we learn how to work them out together”. But what matter is that we each sense and like the kind of person the other is, and want to cherish each other for what we are. To think that there are no things to be given up for each other is to suppose that love costs nothing.

So now, we know that very spice of life is accepting the truth, which is as strong as love itself. Sometimes, just for a moment, a sparks leaps from generation to the next and a relationship is sealed by a memory akin to time, from the inside out...
