No time for being sentimental

Things which matters most must never be at mercy of things which matters least
--Geothe

Sometimes things just go different than we expected. And even when they seem to be within your grasp it can be gone within a second. Somethings seem so fragile, especially human relations.

You might think that true friendships will last forever, but in order to do so, you need to show that you have been a true friend, and continue to do so. Without these actions even the best friendships will fade away.

Some of us might think that true love will last forever. And maybe that's true at too, but even true love need to be shown from time to time. And we all seem to perceive things in different way.

I use to think that if things start from the heart, that all things will eventually shine through. And although I still believe that matters what you carry in your heart, maybe without speaking or really showing it, counts more than superficial acts and words, that carries values.

I gradually realize that carrying things in the heart is not enough for some people. And as a guy I learned to act different from I think. Especially on more personal and emotional matters. Maybe it's mainly because of the fact that I don't know how to handle with these things, but as I said, I sometimes choose to ignore it, or showing things the other way around. And somehow, it seems to be picked up the wrong way. Even though that I meant it totally different in my heart, this is not sensed. All people see and judge are things they can see with their eyes. You might think that someone who has been knowing u for months, will gradually get to know you better, but eventually u will see the truth, and truth is, you are totally misunderstood.

Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.

I cracked up when i saw this quote. Anyway, not that I truly believe I'm good, but there times I did think I meant it the good way, but has been misunderstood.

Then again, there's not much else I can do. I just need learn to act according to my heart and mind, and hope that my true intentions will be read the right way. I just need to continue to follow my path of principles, and believe what is right and true. And eventually, it will always shine through :). That's what I believe, and will always be believing. That's a principle in life that will never change, and will always can hold on to.

Like Alphonse Elric would say:
Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.

So true about friendships and love. People sometimes think those are perfect and don't require work, but that isn't the case. Both take tons of work through both the good and bad times. Great blog, keep it up!
