Do you know something? It's true that things change..

 .

Change the way you are... your way of seeing the world and the people around you.

There comes a time when you realize there are no monsters behind the closet or under the bed, but they do exist!... that not all roses are roses and that there are many more colors that convey a beautiful feeling... that the black is also taken in summer and that color combinations depend on tastes and souls...

You realize that sometimes... silence is worth and says more than a thousand words, that a simple look or smile can penetrate you and make you fly... and that a few words said in the right way, can fill and comfort you more than an elaborate speech; above all... you realize that, the most sublime and effective way to be happy and cope with this world and those who inhabit it, is to go crazy @...

You realize that real friends are counted on one hand fingers and that betrayal doesn't come from your enemy.. that love can hurt as much as it can make you happy.. that the truth, although it hurts, is better in the long run.. who is not richer who has more... that not everything is what it seems and that many times the easiest path, is usually the most dangerous...

Ultimately, there is no better lesson learned than lived!

A father passing by his son's bedroom

Noticed the room unusually clean and saw an envelope propped up prominently on the pillow.

It was addressed, 'Dad'.

With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter, with trembling hands.

Dear, Dad.

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you.

I had to elope with my new girlfriend, because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mum and you.

I've been finding real passion with Stacy.

She is so nice, but I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing's, tattoos, her tight Motorcycle clothes, and because she is so much older than I am.

But it's not only the passion, Dad.

She's pregnant.

Stacy said that we will be very happy.

She owns a trailer in the woods, and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter.

We share a dream of having many more children.

Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone.

We'll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people in the commune for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want.

In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so that Stacy can get better.

She sure deserves it.

Don't worry Dad, I'm 15, and I know how to take care of myself.

Someday, I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your many grandchildren.

Love, your son, Josh

P.S . Dad, none of the above is true.

I'm over at Jason's house.

I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the school report that's on the kitchen table.

THE SCIENTIST AND THE DEATH

There was once a scientist who discovered the art of reproducing itself so perfectly that it was impossible to distinguish the original from reproduction.

One day he found out he was looking for the Angel of Death, and then he made twelve copies of himself.

The angel didn't know how to figure out which of the thirteen specimens he had before him was the scientist, so he left them all alone and returned to heaven.

But not for long, because, as he was an expert in human nature, he came up with a clever strategy.

He returned again and said, "You must be a genius, sir, to have achieved such perfect reproductions of yourself; nevertheless I have found that your work has a flaw, a single and tiny flaw."

The scientist leapt up and yelled: "Impossible! Where is the flaw ? ".

“Right here,” the angel replied as he took the scientist from among his reproductions and took him with him. "All it takes to discover the ""ego"" is a word of flattery or criticism.".

Wise Words to brighten your day.

Earth And Hell - We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized.

 

"Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.

But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.

A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."

We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized.
