Don't expect anyone to drink from your cup if you aren't willing to let them taste the good stuff. Pour out your soul. Always Su Hail ©

You sent me down a dark path that nearly reached the gates of hell, and then, when i was at my lowest, you found a way to burn every thing else down around me, but through that fire my new life has been forged.

What is Happiness?

This is a question that has not bothered me for a long time, precisely because I don’t know how to answer it. Some people seem to be happy: they just do not think about it. Others make plans: “I’m going to have a wife, a home, two children, and a house in the country”. While this keeps them occupied, they are like bulls looking for the bullfighter: they don’t think, they just keep moving forward. They manage to get their car – sometimes even a Ferrari – and they think that the meaning of life lies there, so they never ask the question. Yet, despite all that, their eyes betray a sadness that they themselves are quite unaware of. I don’t know if everyone is unhappy. I do know that people are always busy: working overtime, looking after the kids, the wife, the career, the university degree, what to do tomorrow, what they need to buy, whatever it is they need to have in order not to feel inferior, and so on. Few people have ever told me: “I’m unhappy”. Most say: “I’m fine, I’ve managed to get all I ever wanted”. So then I ask: “What makes you happy?” They answer: “I have everything that a person can dream of – a family, a home, work, good health”. I insist: “So the meaning of life is work, the family, children who grow up and leave you, a wife or husband who will become more like a friend than a true love-mate. And one day the work will come to an end. What will you do when that happens?” They answer: there is no answer. They change the subject. DEDICATED TO ONE OF MY BEST FRIEND (MONKEY)

The theory of Kashmiris

The theory of Kashmiri descent from the lost tribes of Israel posits that the Kashmiri people of India and Pakistan originally descended from the Ten Lost Tribes. The theory was first suggested by Abu Rayan al-Bīrūnī , the famous 11th-century Persian Muslim scholar. François Bernier , a 17th-century French physician and traveler, and Sir Walter Lawrence and Sir Francis Younghusband , who explored this region in the 1800s, commented on the similar physiognomy between Kashmiris and Jews, including “fair skin, prominent noses,” and similar head shapes. Kaw argues that despite the etymological similarities between Kashmiri and Jewish surnames, the Kashmiri people are of Indo-Aryan descent while the Jews are of Semitic descent . Moreover, the Indian civilization pre-season dates the Israelite civilization. The theory is essentially based on the purported similarities between Kashmir place names and Hebrew words and phrases. The name Kashmir locally know as kasher itself is said to be based on the Hebrew word Kashir "like Syria". The Kashmir valley, said to be the dwelling place of the Ten Lost Tribes, is called Bagh- i_Suleman (Garden of Solomon ) in local parlance. The connection between Kashmir and ancient Israel is strengthened further by such Kashmiri place names as "Tomb of Moses " and "Throne of Solomon". There is also a Kashmiri tradition that the 40 years of wandering in the desert actually covered the ground from Asia to Kashmir, and that Kashmir is in fact the Promised Land. The names of approximately 350 towns and villages in Kashmir bear some resemblance to place names in the Holy Land . These include: Bandpoor (similar to Beth Peor) Naboo Hill (similar to Mount Nebo ) Pishgah (similar to Mount Pisgah) Mamre (similar to Mamre) Pathan tribal names that are said to resemble the names of the lost tribes include: Rabbinic (Reuben), Shinwari (Shimon), Daftani (Naphtali), Jajani (Gad), Ashuri (Asher), Alfridi (Ephraim), and Yusufzai (sons of Joseph – i.e., Mansel and Ephraim).

LIFE

When you sit and think, Your life is stupid, You’ll never do anything, No matter how good you did, Or sit and feel sorry for yourself, And don’t take things like they are, Just because you didn’t, Become a movie star. You need to realize, All that’s wanted is love, And you get that from everywhere, Including from god above, And now that I think about it, That’s the reason we live, The true meaning of life, And the way to prove it is, What do you want to be, Are you sure that’s true? And do you end up rich and famous, And people love you. Would you like another example, Or do you have this down, Ok what do you want to happen now, For people to want you around? Now correct me if I’m wrong, But that’s two good reasons, right, And if that wasn’t enough, I can go all night. Here’s another example, Let’s say a boy is three, His family was killed in an accident, Unfortunate isn’t he? But then another family, Open their doors, For what reason you may ask, To give him love. Most people, Respect love, not as it comes, But only if it has a price on it, Like money, clothes, and gum, So to love is to live, And life is a gift, So you should, Choose life and live. So no mater what your going through, Someone’s there too, They’ll comfort and love you, And live, just like you.

Found

I know I’m smiling but don’t take it as for what it seems 'Cause the only time I'm happy is when I'm in my dreams 'Cause my life is that lonely kid cast out in the shadows Full of tears, frowns, and many lost battles Down in a black hole trying to escape depression But you can't run away from what will always be your reflection And as you run away reality is getting nearer And instead of changing you, you try to change the mirror But what do you do when the mirror falls down? Breaking apart as it hits the ground And now you have nothing to hide behind And now you need the courage you have yet to find Because fear and sorrow are just emotions that play tricks on your mind Trying to prevent you from making your life and dreams intertwine But instead of giving in you try to break out Rebuilding the happiness that fear and sorrow take out Because the obstacles you have aren't important it's about how you handle it Because fear can only be as bad as you imagine it And sorrow comes with tears just as gray clouds come with rain And then it will pass quicker than it came So just be proud you didn't cut yourself with the mirror's glass And just know that the worst already passed But if you look in a mirror again, look with open eyes So if you don't like the out, you can take a look inside.

Dark Side of Human Nature

We all see what we've lost, and eventually open our eyes to the little we've gained, has happiness become a forbidden fruit, or is our true goal to keep sorrow sustained, every smile simply a ruse, your eyes dart down after everything you say, sadly people in life are cruel, and will only attempt to confuse, drag you away from solace in subtle ways, treat your body like an old jacket, just something to be worn when needed, act as if your beautiful thoughts are merely an annoying racket, a noise of no importance, a voice worthy of being mistreated, they act as if they know not the effect of their actions, they ignore the miserable look on your face, approaching as if its okay, as if their insults are refundable transactions, knowingly attempting to label you as a disgrace, your tears are the sick payment they wish to receive, accepted behind the false pretense of friendship and trust, torn between lies, you know not how this life you should perceive, a majestic gemstone you are, one who people wish to rust, jealousy and envy compose the roots of this tree, a forbidden fruit everyone eats, but also one they deny to be.
