Pursuit of Happiness

"All you need is love…. If you have love you have nothing…. Love is a yadda, yadda, yadda"

There are so many quotes about love in the world, not a day goes by without hearing about it. But do we really live by this?

We listen to love songs on the radio from people who have had three divorces and hate themselves.

The world is only concerned with one type of love, love for my family. What happens though when you start to show love to others and not expect something in return.

Love is something we all need but most of the time is something we need to give out. We all crave love in every degree it is the common bond that makes us human.

We seek for love in bad relationships because we have no self worth or hold to love as a weapon to punish those who have hurt us.

I’m not just talking about love for your family or friends but love for your neighbour and enemy. Do you know that it hurts you more to hold a grudge against someone than it hurts them?! You may be thinking your punishing them but really your punishing yourself ( taking pride in statements like I will forgive but never forget) because most of the time they don’t even know how you feel about them. Now where is the justice in that?

It’s easy to love those that love us back it takes even more to love others and not expect anything in return.
I see so many people who are miserable and most of the time their problems can be solved. And of all the things I have mentioned this is the most important.

To walk in love is to make a conscious decision everyday no matter how you feel to be an understanding and caring person, to not think your better because of a degree or skin colour. Instead of getting mad at your kid because they are not the best student act with love to talk and find out the root of the problem.

Help someone not for what they can give you in return but because it is the right thing to do.

Now I’m not giving that example to preach to you from my high horse and say what a saint I am (I’m not) because I also try to walk in love everyday because I at times can be a horrible and judgemnetal person. But just making a small effort even if it means making a coffee for someone, saying thank you or I love you can make a difference. It’s the little things that count.

The world or your circumstances are not going to change unless you change.

This is the only quote concerning love that I live by and I hope you do too.

Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.
It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.
Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]

p.s: I’m going to say something that people may not like. But to really reach a level of happiness that never fades and is renewed everyday the only way to get that is with Jesus. You will reach a level of happiness with the tips I have given, but you will never experience the joy of the Lord that has no limit. What the world and the gurus will offer will only last a while and you will keep looking and looking and never find it.

Homeless Man Panhandles Internet

HOUSTON - A homeless man is part of an Internet experiment to get him some help, but is it at the expense of his dignity?

Tim Edwards does not like to talk about what got him there, but he has been roaming the streets of Houston for the better part of five years.
Story continues below ?advertisement | your ad here

"A lot of times you just go to sleep hungry. But tonight, I know I am going to have something to eat. I am going to be alright," Edwards said.

Edwards said his new hope is thanks to his new job, but not everyone is convinced his path to improvement is guaranteed or ethical.

Edwards' new employers, who pay him a minimum of $100 per day, have started a Web site called

pimpthisbum.com

The site is all about Edwards and it solicits donations on his behalf. Vistors to the Web site can buy him anything from a cheeseburger to laser hair removal to a college education.

There is also streaming video showing what Edwards is doing throughout the day, although the video is available only intermittently for now.

Sean Dolan created the Web site with his father, Kevin, who was recently laid off by a software company.

"We had to make it kind of edgy to get the exposure and have people talking about it."

The Dolans promise all of the proceeds go to Edwards, and the Dolans do not keep any of the donated money.

"It all goes to Tim," Kevin Dolan said.

So what do the Dolans get out of the deal? They said they're getting exposure.

Their theory is if they can make Edwards popular, they can make anything or anyone popular, a bankable skill to attract big businesses.

"Take a homeless guy on the side of the street that has a sign, 'I should have used Monster.com,' and Monster. com just turned (someone) into a walking billboard," Sean Dolan said.

But is it ethical?

"You're going to find people who offended by anything you do. Judge the outcome, don't judge the process." Sean Dolan said.

Edwards does not have any complaints. He said he can now sleep at night knowing he has a source of income.

"This might be an avenue off the streets, a way I can climb up a little bit and get out of here."

Song

This is a song by Fefe Dobson. I think it expresses my relationships with guys thus far in my life.


So what if I came clean
And told you all you mean to me
So what if I meant every word I said
Baby don't let it go to your head
So what if I write your name
Cause you're always on my brain
In a heart, I paint it crimson red
Baby don't let it go to your head

Don't be getting any big ideas
Let me make it clear


Just cause I can't go on
Just cause I die when you're gone
Just cause I think of you in bed
Don't let it go to your head
If I looked in your eyes
One, two, too many times
And memorized every word you said
Don't let it go to your head

So what if I want to kiss
From your toes up to your lips
It don't mean that you've had me yet
You're gonna be good, I bet

I'm the one whose in control here
Let me make it clear

Just cause I can't go on
Just cause I die when you're gone
Just cause I think of you in bed
Don't let it go to your head
If I looked in your eyes
One, two, too many times
And memorized every word you said
Don't let it go to your head

Ohhhhh
Don't let it go to your head
Ohhhhh

I had a porcelain doll
I held on to it so tightly
But when it broke, I swore
I'd never hold on to something that tightly again
Don't let it go to your head
Oh, no (oh, no)

Just cause I can't go on
Just cause I die when you're gone
Just cause I think of you in bed
Don't let it go to your head
Don't let it go to your head

Just cause I can't go on
Just cause I die when you're gone
Just cause I think of you in bed
Don't let it go to your head
If I looked in your eyes (ohh)
One, two, too many times
And memorized every word you said
Don't let it go to your head (ohh)
Don't let it go to your head (ohh)
Don't let it go to your head (don't let it, don't let it)
Don't let it go to your head (ohh)

The recipe for beauty is to have less illusion and more Soul,to retreat from the belief of pain or pleasure in the body into the unchainging calm and glorious freedom of spiritual harmony.rose rose

After last night experince...

After last night experince now i understand why majority of people from here don't post threads.It happened to me wrting threads to be attacked by some ''old forumists here'' many times and to make me from a good person a bad one.Well i read many threads here and when come someone new here anewbie and the peopel who post in forums by a long time ,they start attack him/her like wolves,oh god is not good this ,all we ahve the right to an opinion,and i told many times and repeat if someone write a thread and people read they can write an opinion to the subject not to attack person just to show themselves they are stronger here.I wonder why we show even here the anger,the hate,the black nd bad irony on this site,which must be a site for finding love.People let's try be good not hate nobody life is short,u like a thread u write,u don't like u don't write,but don't be bad ,don't judge others here if u never saw them in real,don't judge them after theur colour,their country,their thinking.Is a free site for free opinion let's be better.Is sad like good people abandon to write in forum,and i understand them now they prefer just read and stay away by some people who just like to judge,and come in evidence be ironic with other's opinions and remain to post in forums just few people good and the rest who just play with a black humour and want attention from others through their bad acts.Was my opion here,what i felt fom my experince from last night,i don't want attention how accised em others just express myself and evrybody is free to do it,and i learned something last night,that is good to stay away by actions who can hurt u.thanks for reading!
