There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.
(You raise me up - Brendan Graham)
...it's time to learn that our joy has no meaning if we do not share it.
...it's time to think of life as the chance for growing wiser.
...this is a time when nothing we could say matters more than a good memory.

Believe
Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe...
(Josh Groban - Believe)

Bond over life and happiness
Dedicated to...
It’s strange how many people are impressed by physical suffering, but so little of them actually know what suffering really means. It’s strange that we cry when we see others in physical pain, even if we did not meet them before in our life. We bond over pain, we bond over death… but we are so stupid that we do not to learn how to bond over life…
We phone our friends when they are sick to ask about their state and wish them well, but much rarely we call them when they have no health problem, to ask about their life, about their activities, to wish them well from now on also. It would seem that we are more interested in knowing their pain than in knowing their happiness. It would seem that we forgot that life and joy is worth sharing… but we are so selfish… when we are happy we do not wish to take the chance of giving others the possibility of casting a shadow over our bliss, but when we are suffering, we hope that others will come and soften our pain.
It’s therefore a miracle when we see people who, despite their suffering, want to share the little happiness they have with others. It’s wonderful to know that if they have a chance to get even a drop of joy in their life, they are willing to spread it to everyone around…
