Do we really care about those around us

Image
As people we love to tell those around us that we love them and care for them. We tell them how much they mean to us and that we they are important to us. However, that is where it ends, we believe that saying a good word can do so much for those in our lives as it makes them happy. Saying a kid word is necessary and recommended but the people you say this to would love to see something else. They would love to see a little bit more movement with that love, they would love to see actions of appreciation and love so they know you do care. A parent would love to see their child show much they care by showing respect, by helping them when they need them. A husband and wife would want the other to show love by helping the other and being there when they need each other. A friend would want you to be there at their time of need, to show how much they mean to you and be considerate of them. Words become air and if you talk into a bucket your words will never fill it. However, you actions w...

Take care of your inside as you do your out

Image
In todays world, appearance is important. When we walk outside people judge us on the way we look, people you know comment on the way we look such as 'you lost weight' or gained a few kilos or even comment on the clothes you are wearing. However, very little concern is payed to character and moral standards, how we treat those around us is often looked over and nobody pays attention to how they treat others. We place so much concerns on our appearance that treating someone wrong is not a big deal and we commonly do it. The question is why put so much emphasis in something that is fleeting. Our hair will turn grey, our bodies will become feeble and our faces will wrinkle, the beauty and the appearance we waste money to keep will fade and the only thing that will remain is our inside. Our character is how people judge us, even when we die we will be remembered for how we treated those in our lives and around us. Money you will leave behind and it will be inherited, fame but the...

Content

In a world where there are so many things we can have and are judged according to how much we possess, being content is quite a challenge. We have so many options to choose that can be ours which makes being satisfied with the things we already have difficult. We have one thing then we have the urge to get another, when making a choice to choose between two things, it takes us a long time to make a choice. Having things in our life is not a bad thing, its only when we base our entire happiness on them and forget to satisfied with the things our lives that a problem occurs. This is because we develop the idea of need, which means that everything that we see is something we must have in our lives even though we do not need them. Most of the things we die to have we can live without, but since we do not see the things we already  have and this means we strive to get more and more. Content is something we need to survive a life where constantly need to possess thing. Being content me...
