15 Things You Should Give Up To Be Happy
“14. Give up attachment. This is a concept that, for most of us is so hard to grasp and I have to tell you that it was for me too, (it still is) but it’s not something impossible. You get better and better at with time and practice. The moment you detach yourself from all things, (and that doesn’t mean you give up your love for them – because love and attachment have nothing to do with one another, attachment comes from a place of fear, while love… well, real love is pure, kind, and self less, where there is love there can’t be fear, and because of that, attachment and love cannot coexist) you become so peaceful, so tolerant, so kind, and so serene. You will get to a place where you will be able to understand all things without even trying. A state beyond words.“

I notice something interesting.
My mood and energy level vary from morning to night. In the morning when I wake up, my body brims with energy, eagerness, and hope. I’m full of plans and cannot wait to execute them. That is indeed the best time in the day for me. But then, when the day dies and darkness descends, when activities cease and birds stop singing to hide into their nests, my hope seems to die along. I feel tired, and sad for no particular reason. And most of all, lonely.
Was Philip Larkin feeling the same way when he woke up in the dark of the night?
I work all day, and get half-drunk at night.
Waking at four to soundless dark, I stare.
In time the curtain-edges will grow light.
Till then I see what’s really always there:
Unresting death, a whole day nearer now,
Making all thought impossible but how
And where and when I shall myself die.
The Look of Love
Is in your eyes
The look, your heart can’t disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more than just words coud ever say
And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited, waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You’ve got the…
Look of Love
It’s on your face
A look, that time can’t erase
Be mine, tonight, let this be just the start of so many nights like this
Let’s take a lover’s vow and then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited, waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don’t ever go…
Every society, perhaps every person, contains a dark element that, in the right circumstances, can burst through the normal crust of civility in an explosion of murder and plunder.”
