To Love and Be Loved

Who has seen me and known me can tell that this image reflects the image of the Lord God. Never allow vanity to take over your life, make this commitment: live for others, be their light. When blood is shed for a good cause, a reward awaits anyone who has bravely fought. Perhaps peace is not impossible to achieve, even hope can glow in very dark places. Never listen to leaders that promise change when their words are shallow, be shrewd and wise. If the glamor of fortunes deludes, accept humbleness as a blessing and share with all the little you have. We were born to fulfill His purpose, not to hate, kill and destroy, but to hold each other's hand: to love and be loved. Only at the end of one's life, one realizes how brief and difficult the journey has been not having had enough time to know and love everyone.
