Of lemons and banality.

You know what they always say;
When life throws a lemon at you, make lemonade

I'd say;
Just maybe, lemons are what you need at the present moment. Sour moments are there for a reason, we shouldn't always go trying hard turning these moments into sweet sweet ones. And you know those lemons will keep coming along. Ergo, just take the lemon, and suck it up for a bit. It'll pass, eventually. If you can't stop it from coming your way, might as well embrace it eh?

They also say;
When things do not go your way, take comfort in knowing that it could have been worst.

I'd say;
Think about this for a second. Do we really think when we land ourselves in a pile of shit (pardon my language here.), we'll take comfort in knowing that we could be in a worst pile of shit? Exactly, how is that going to make you feel better? And exactly how worst can a pile of shit be?

Can you also say in all certainty you'll feel less horrible if you had some bird droppings on your shirt (representing a less dramatic event) as opposed to finding yourself surrounded by droppings? I bet, you'll feel equally horrible and mad even. Cause we just don't go around pausing and wonder how horrible should i feel in this situation from a scale of 1 to 10. (10 being extremely horrible). Seriously, i honestly do not think we're that rational a being.

So No, do not take comfort in knowing that things may turn out worst. Take comfort in knowing there is Someone who cares enough to not want you losing your way in the jungle. As banal as my next statement is going to be, i personally believe it to be meaningful. And you may not agree with me much on this yet, but eventually you will; I know you will. Trust me on this.

Here goes, the oh-so-true trite we all know by head and yet brush it aside.
Every single everything happens for His reason.
(well, i kindda did amend that statement a little, but i prefer this version much better ;p)

Take comfort in that instead. For it is all that matters.

just as CS Lewis said;
There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done', and those whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done."

The Awesome One who created that; Cares so much we cannot even begin to imagine.

On an entirely different note here;
..you are everything i think of right now. i need you out, please. :(

  1. I don't have anything interesting to say, except that I like it.

    Everything happens for a reason, His reason ; a strong motto of mine.

    Cheers, dear friend.

    Cheers.
