Glass of Life

The popular saying guides one to "Look at the glass of life as half full".
However, my reply goes like this:

"I put my glass down quite a while back, as my quench for thirst, and my desire and greed for liquids left me content. So, I will survive with what is already inside me and let life and destiny take their course, for destiny also works wonders even for those who put the glass down."

"And once I run dry, life will have completed its course in its own manner. For life is what you make of it, however most forget to live it in the custom of building it for tomorrow (or filling the glass). Contentment comes from inside, and once achieved nothing from the materialistic and/or social world can disturb it or even aggravate it; so for those wishing to fill their glasses, try doing so with inner growth and peace, rather than social and materialistic gains."

Life is what you make of it....live it for today.

Relationships galore

What come in all sizes, shapes, and level of importance and have aided human nature since the beginning of time are also what one usually takes for granted quite easily: Relationships. From the bond between Adam and Eve, to the traditional family, to the live-in relationship, to casual flings; relationships are an important part of one's daily life and play a vital role in shaping one's nature and/or personality; even on the subconscious level. However, as one ages the importance and value of one's relationships also seem to adapt accordingly.

As seen throughout time and of course one's own experience, key relationships which play a vital role in one's life (in most cases) are that of a family. From the Mother who gave you birth, to the Father who helped raise you; Siblings you shared rooms with; Grandparents you heard stories from; Aunts and Uncles and Cousins you celebrated holidays with; the relationships between and with family members have brought me to where I am today, and recognizing their key portrayal is just the beginning.With age, learning the essence of relationships is something to seek as it brings peace in life.
