BITTER SWEET

I wish...it was all that easy..........

But life is not easy. And did I not decide to accept that fact long long ago.
For most of the part of my existence, I try to remember that - and it makes life so much easier most of the times. But there are moments when the wishful thinking takes over and the heart desires for an easy way out.

Only there was never, and will never be an easy way out.

It hurts when you are hurt. But sometimes it hurts more when you hurt.

Think of a mother...

She has all the love, but she also has all the responsibility. She cant let her child go astray, and she ll do everything in her powers to correct him...even if it means being harsh for a while.

How does she feel when she sees him cry? How does she feel when she knows, its she who made him cry? Does the fact that - she was strict to correct - provide her any solace? Does she resolve never to get that harsh again? And how does she feel when she has to break that resolve again?

And for all u guys who were feeling left out...its no different for a father.

When u really love and care, all u r concerned with is the welfare or your loved ones. We have all been on the receiving end of our parents love. And years later.....some of us realize the worth of it.....yet some spend away lifetimes unaware of the treasure they have.

I read it in one of the Harry Potter books...

"It takes a lot of courage to stand up to your enemies, but it takes even more to courage to stand up to your friends."
