By Paul Chello....

"And because of our selfishness, we will be condemned to the worst torture humankind ever invented for itself: loneliness"

"Everything tells me that I am about to make a wrong decision, but making mistakes is just part of life. What does the world want of me? Does it want me to take no risks, to go back to where I came from because I didn't have the courage to say "yes" to life?"

"When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive."

"Waiting hurts. Forgetting hurts. But not knowing which decision to take is the worst of suffering."

"Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused."

"A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires."

"People give flowers as present because flowers contain true meaning of love. Anyone who tries to posses a flower will have to watch its beauty fading. But if you simply look at a flower in the field, you'll keep it forever.
That is what the forest taught me. That you will never be mine, and that is why i will never lose you."

"If there is any possible consolation in the tragedy of losing someone we love very much, it's the necessary hope that perhaps it was for the best."

"Human beings can withstand a week without water, two weeks without food, many years of homelessness, but not loneliness. It is the worst of all tortures, the worst of all sufferings."

"You are someone who is different, but who wants to be the same as everyone else. And that in my view is a serious illness. God chose you to be different. Why are you disappointing God with this kind of attitude?"

After having lunch I and my friend went for our daily afternoon walk.The weather was cloudy and breezy.We were seeing the people sitting beside the lake,some lost in their thoughts,some gazing at the sky,some smoking to get relief from the mundane life.
While waking we saw a very cute puppy on the road running here and there with zeal.
We were talking,looking here and there and while returning back we see the puppy which
was jumping with life was lying dead,a vehicle had run over it.

I was stuck with a lump in my throat. A being which was full of life before few minutes is now lying dead.No one will mourn over it,people will see the body feel sorry and go back to their work desks,forget about the world and immerse themselves in the daily routine of slogging themselves to make a code work.

How we humans manage to be like that?How do we forget to live the small moments of our life?We are always chasing things,how do we don't get time to pause?How do we forget to laugh,cry and live every moment of our lives?How do we start behaving like robots?Life is short and we worry too much over every small thing.Death is inevitable and can strike us at the most unpredictable moments.We postpone,delay,procrastinate things saying there is a tomorrow.But how do you know that tomorrow will come.We worry too much about our past and plan too much for the future that we forget to live our present.We are never satisfied. Even when the future we have imagined becomes the present we again start off this vicious circle of being unhappy with what we have and start off planning to think about the future.
Is their an end to our desires?Why are we the way we are?
