When we think of gain and loss, what goes through our minds? Is it about money? Do we wonder how much profit we can make in this TRANSACTION, or how much we can LOSE if we don’t rob this person…maybe thousands..maybe millions? Does everything boils down to money? Do we think about happiness and sorrow….will I be happier with this person or the other? Will my life be a sea of sadness living with A. or will it be a bed of roses living with B? Will there be a port where I may harbor my sad life…my loss? Should I set sail into the sunset with my loved one and find my happiness….my Gain? Never forget…to every action, there is a reaction…… once there is a void, something fills it up…maybe air or sadness! As we climb that ladder of success to reach the top, are we going to trample on people…either physically or emotionally? As we keep climbing, do we lose something..like our true selves …? As we gain love, do we lose sadness….as we gain hope, do we lose despair…in our quest for fame and fortune, do we forget our true friends and family? Do we become blind to these little things? We should wake up and smell the roses! What is it worth to gain the whole world and lose our soul? Never forget!! Whenever and wherever there is gain, there is always a loss!!

Do we count how many days we have left before we expire or before the world ends, whichever comes first? What is there to worry about? That cannot be answered. We enjoy what we have , no matter how little or how much. It is all the same. One day, it will all be gone. Do we share or are we too selfish that we don’t care about our fellow human beings? Is that the right path to choose? We can only know the answers in the days to come! Are we aware of anything..especially other people’s feelings? We have our friends and our family….how much do they treasure us? Do they wait for us to die , and then quarrel over what we leave ? In that case, it is better for us to enjoy all we have and leave Nothing…..to chance! We even have our children whom we love so much, and sacrificed a lot for their upbringing. , but will they remember that now that we are old..We don’t know! We cannot read their minds. , but at the same time, we cannot be judgemental! They have their own lives to live….their own children to care for! Answers to these questions will only be unfolded in the days to come!

On Planet Earth, there are so many people living, and even some just exist because it is better than going into the ground! Of these, there are the happy -go-lucky type who , in their minds, have everything…..then there are the ” worriers” who have nothing and so there is nothing to lose! Are they singing “Born To Lose” ? Who knows? In that vast melting pot, it boils down to this…..each person is an individual, and has his/her own thoughts! But , at one point or another, they ask themselves questions which lead to answers which lead to more questions! Does she love me ? Will I hit the lotto? Will there be a better tomorrow? Do my parents know that I am pregnant? Will I get the job? Will I still be alive tomorrow? With all these questions in mind , we are really seeking answers, but as we know ,there are none and we become frustrated , and probably take it out on the poor homeless cat or the empty tin can! We seek help from above and beyond but to no avail! Can someone please help? But there is a person who can really give you all the answers you need. Even though these may not be the ones in your favor or you may not be around to listen to them….Just ask or send your questions to the all-knowing Old man! TIME!

Still thinking about where love has gone? Don’t worry! It has dissipated due to the warm weather. You have gotten old…It was not strong, to begin with! Did you think that your money and power could buy Love…the kind that lasts a lifetime? Sorry, my friend….you are far from the truth….You were totally fooled! You gave your all but still it was not good enough…..so, what should you give…your life? Would that be enough? I doubt it. Did you ever feel that no matter what you do, it it still not good enough……..there is always someone or even others in front of you….. You are at the back of the line You feel the hurt…the pain. ..the anguish. .of not being recognized! You try your best….you do your best..because of your Love….but it is all in vain .The worst thing about it is that you know but you cannot help it because of your Love for that person…All you have to do now is to be true to yourself…..stop thinking about being neglected…keep loving and do the best for that person you love….selfless love! In the end, you will never feel that you didn’t do enough! You will not find a reason to ask..WHERE LOVE HAS GONE!

Do we ever think about our last day being alive? We awake and later step out to work, vacation , shopping or anything else with never a thought of this being our last day! Everything seems so beautiful..radiant sunshine or even the snow.. birds singing, children playing and laughing..adults talking or gossiping! Everything seems fine. We have our beautiful family at home awaiting our return! Everything seems to be coming up Roses ! Wow! No worry…no fear…just looking forward to a wonderful day…and then suddenly we are gone…extinguished. We cannot even experience the Darkness…because we are beyond that. Life has been snuffed out! There was never an opportunity for even a last farewell! Sometimes , when we are ill, then we have that moment to do things like these…but how much can we say? Why didn’t we do that before? Why didn’t we enjoy the sunshine together instead of waiting for the darkness? Is there anything like a good and proper farewell? We ask the questions..but all we get are echoes! Should we say our Last Farewell today???

I have watched several series on NETFLIX…..korean,,chinese,, turkish english and even spanish! In most of them, there is a title song,,,,,,but the best one i have watched so far with several beautiful emotional songs is BENI BOYLE SEV (love me as i am ) ! On Netflix, there are subtitles ,,,,but on YOUTUBE THERE ARE NONE! I have found them to be very good, but am very surprised to see viewers give them 2 stars….anyway, this is one beautiful song from LOVE ME AS I AM,,,,sorry, no subtitles but, to see the translation, you have to watch it on NETFLIX! Enjoy…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6CiuSe9Rxc

Marriage…..the legally or formally recognized union of two people as partners in a personal relationship ( historically and in some jurisdictions specifically a union between a man and a woman!) So we are writing about a man and a woman. Documented or undocumented, that may be a question but it does NOT change the relationship or outcome of the marriage…..there should still be love , respect, honesty and the rest of the trimmings , even quarrels and jealousy…ups and downs! Sometimes each get to recognize in each other the qualities that will make a solid relationship before their marriage….they know the strength and weaknesses , and work on that! This is extremely important before embracing marriage. What about this? In some countries…in some customs…in some traditions…….there are arranged marriages…..( these may be documented or undocumented…not a big issue)..It may be for money or for other reasons…These people probably have never met or seen each other before, but are going on a lifetime journey….is this fair to them? They will have to spend time to know one another. ..and may not even be suitable for each other. So let’s say they spent years trying to know..adjust ,and finally Love arrives! What then?…..are they at the end of life’s journey? How much time is left? MARRIAGE is like a ship that is put out to sea and , looking ahead, there is no land in sight! You have to chart your own course to happiness!
