Faith about faith

Life's is only as good as you let it be, as good as you see it to be. The same situations seem better and happier when you have faith and when you realize that all's well, things will work themselves out and that He has a plan for you.

At the risk of sounding too religious, I know that faith can take you anywhere. Whoever you are, whatever it is that you want and however you want it, believe that He will provide it for you. "The best shall come and fall right into your lap," says Sri Sri. How beautifully he put it.

I believe there are angels all around us and they hear every thought that we think, every hope that we have and every resentment that we harbour. And they work to make it all come true. The key is to realise this and to think happy thoughts, feel greatful, have faith, help everyone that you can, have strength in difficult times and smile through life. Because it is that simple. And because life is that awesome, believe it or not :)

The more devoted, the more reason to lie

"The more devoted, the more reason to lie." A dialogue from House MD, S2 ep10, sums it up well. Case at hand: Bipolar guy falls madly in love with girl, hides his disease from her, gives up drinking and smoking and drugs and all of that to live the life he wants with her; falls, head injury gives him away- not because he was diagnosed but because he told the doctors the truth while he hid it from his wife. Conclusion: People lie, albeit with good intentions sometimes. But the more closer you are, the more badly you want something, the more you fear losing it and the more scary the thought of living without it- the more you lie, cheat, run, chase, pretend to have/save it. The more devoted, the more reason to lie.

Solution: Give space. So much so that you feel distant at times but that's better than being lied to. Not being around/not caring too much is better than being too involved and attached. Because people want/need to keep some things to themselves. And the further you stay, the lesser they need to lie.

P.S.- I know I sound cynical. My thoughts sound cynical to me in my head too. What to do, it's how I feel right now.
