My views of Life

The fruit of labour is like water from a tap
How much you turn the tap determines how much water will flow

Problems are like giant trees
They grow from little seeds
Prevent the seed from growing before it is too late
Lest it becomes a tree whose roots are hidden

Problem is like a tree with a multitude of branches
Each branch is like a side effect, from the main trunk
It laughs at your face when you trim branches with shears
Oh but hark how it howls when you bring a gleaming axe?

Every problem must be fiercely confronted
All bad trees must be chopped down

Every depression is a battle
Win it with reason and positiveness

With every single lie there must be a truth
The only way to fight lies are by truths

Lies place you in captivity like a prison
But the truth is freedom from all bondage

Life is a like a year with four seasons
We must move with the flow

Life is ever changing, nothing is permanent
The only permanent thing is change

It is easier to teach a wise man by simple rebuke
Than it is to teach a fool with a hundred strokes

Communication is like a master key
It opens the doors to the heart

Communication is a definite tool
For it brings down solid walls between two

Friendship is like a great house
It is not built overnight
At the end of all labours
The house is good to live in

Labouring for God is like looking after a child
Despite all hardships, in the end its all worth it

One man's beauty is another man's ugliness
Nothing in the world is ugly nor is anything beautiful

Happiness is a way of the mind
It depends on how you view the world

Do not be swift to judge others
Lest it be turned back onto you

Do not be quick to make assumptions
For it will warp your mind and thinking

In every person there is a split personality
One is of righteousness, the other is of sin

Every person is like a pilot
Where you drive to affects all those onboard
Your compass is important
Seek counsel if in doubt
And who better than the Lord God, the compass in our hearts?

The journey of life has many forks
Be ever careful to pick the right lanes
Lest you go in circles
Or arrive at the wrong place

Abide by the Law of the world
Happy is he who does
Broken is he who does not

Labour steadily and slowly
Seek not the shortcuts
For in the Law of the universe
Is not found the word "Shortcuts"

Trials are like a bully
Cower and be beaten
Fight and be victorious

Life is a journey of a thousand thorns
Will you walk it with shoes or barefeet?

Riches are like gold at the end of the rainbow
Seek it zealously and find that in the end it is all a myth

Successes in life are like a skyscraper
We must be ever zealous to build it
If you have not yet laid down the foundation
How might you see the view from the top?

Friends and family are like your shield and armor
When you stand naked, full force of blade shall skewer you
But your loved ones fight and defend you

Friendship is like many chopsticks bunched together
It is never easy to break
Through greater trials more chopsticks are added
And it grows from strength to strength

Bear no hatred or resentment in heart
Lest you become the very thing you abhor

Anger may be made manifest from time to time
But let it set with the sun
Never letting it last as the moon shines
Rising with the morning sun

Poverty is like a thief at night
It strikes while you slumber in your beds

Riches are a material thing
Do not care much for it
For as we came with nothing into the world
We shall leave with nothing also

As we bask in our blessings and goodness of life
Let us never forget to acknowledge He who gave it all
Amen. =)
