[COLOR SILVER]"LOVE is a gift."[/COLOR]It is a mystery why we fall in love. It is a mystery how it happens. It is a mystery why some love grow and it is a mystery why some love fail. You can anal yze and look for reasons and causes, but you will never do any more than take the life out of the experience.Love is more than the sum of the interest and attractions and commonalities that two people share. And just as life itself is a gift that comes and goes in its time, the coming of love must be taken as an unfathomable gift that cannot be questioned in its way.Too often, when love comes to people, they try to grasp the love and hold it to them, refusing to see that it is a gift freely given and a gift that just as freely moves away. When they fall out of love, or the person they love feels the spirit of love leaving, they try desperately to recl aim the love that is lost rather than accepting the gift for what it was..[/B][B][COLOR BLUE]HAPPINESS...[/COLOR]It depends on a person what made him or her happy and what happiness for him/her is. Happiness is a feeling. And true happiness is not what your mind tells you. It is something that comes from the very heart of your heart. It is the happiness that is in your heart that transcends the meaning of your day… of your life… It is having what is of important to you it does not mean that these are only tangible things. It is also having all the unexpected things that may happen to you, all the extra ordinaries that lift your heart and your spirit. A happiness that overflows from your heart. At this point in life... truly happy… If you have felt such happiness and have embraced the reasons and all the means of you being happy… where in the word and where in the world you could find that true happiness that u thought u have if it turns to be an illusion.Happiness is how you accept and appreciate the things around you… and how you reciprocate with those that are around you, specially the people around you. It is a blessing really it is, to feel such happiness. Feel happy and you will be happy.Make it a happiness from the heart [/B][I][B] Life lives, life dies. Life laughs, life cries. Life gives up and life tries. But life looks different through everyone's eyes."There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts it is a sword that kills."[/B][/I]Buddha quotes (Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, B.C.)[/B][I]tHE MoRe sILeNTLY lOvE EXpResseD;thE mOrE iT iS DeepLy BounD to ImprEss.it was you thanks for sharing this quote[/I] http://friendfinder.com/blog/8874/post_98904.html?pid=p9814 An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of Church services when she was startled by an intruder.
