Time OR Love
Although in my last post I believe that I was telling the world that only time can understand the true value of love, today I find myself here not able to believe it as much myself. Is it true that time can tell us what love is...or time and distance can be the mechanisms that can distroy love and what is true love ? all these questions run through my brain and my veins but do I have an answer ...not really! it all get down to blurry questions and hazzy answers ... and a silent, sad smile!

Sharing a story of Time and Love

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived;happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all the others, including love.
One day it was announced to all of the feelingsthat the island was going to sink to the bottomof the ocean. So all the feelings preparedtheir boats to leave.
Love was the only one that stayed. She wantedto preserve the island paradise until the lastpossible moment. When the island was almosttotally under, love decided it was time to leave.
She began looking for someone to ask for help. Just thenRichness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked,"Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?"
Richness answered, "I'm sorry, but there is a lot of silver and goldon my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere."
Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in abeautiful vessel. Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please."
"I can't help you", Vanity said, "You areall wet and will damage my beautiful boat."
Next, Love saw Sadness passing. Love said,"Sadness, please let me go with you."
Sadness answered, "Love, I'm sorry but I just need to be alone now."
Then, Love saw Happiness. love cried out,"Happiness, please take me with you."But Happiness was so over overjoyedthat he didn't hear Love calling to him.
Love began to cry. Then she heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will takeyou with me." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed thatshe forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land theelder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder.
Love then found Knowledge and asked. "It was Time", Knowledgeanswered. "But why did Time help me when no one else would?",Love asked. Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom andsincerity, answered, "Because only Time is capable ofunderstanding how great Love is."

The Clock

Today, just a normal day, I was wondering about time which took me to some dilemma. Let me share with u some 45 minutes of my life and from which we can all wonder !! .Waking up with an alarm, to struggle my human need for more sleep while under the nice warm blanket then making sure to watch every minute that passes by while preparing my clothes and wearing them before the second alarm rings signaling time to leave if I want to reach the office on time. If that second alarm just rings and I am still half way to my ‘outside’ final state, I get more stressed because at that moment I know that I am counting down my ‘late’ time. Once done and couldn’t even catch something to eat... I have to run to line up for the “big taxi” with other people that remind me that I was not the only one struggling to get there.
In the cab, again, I keep an eye on the quick moves of my watch trying to stop it and stressing more for watching it run so fast while I am still stuck with the circulation. Dropping off the first cab and hopping in a second one and watching the road while thinking about the watch but still I cant look this time because I feel that I am exaggerating with this ‘stressing time’ but the passenger next to me just decides to ask me about the time so I guess, like me he wanted to know despite the conviction that the cab is on the way to our destination and will get there sometime soon. Getting to my office, I look at my watch…yes I was some 5 minutes late and I decided that these 5 minutes were not really worth all the stress and tomorrow I should stay cool and ignore my watch. But deep inside, I know that tomorrow will not be different than today and my obsession with the clock will be the same. This circle that is haunting us with time and movement keeps turning and I still cant figure it out…
Do humans control the time or does the time control us !!
keep on wondering ...

Simply Humans
Today, the main reason that brings me here to share with you, the people I know and the others I don’t, is the human side of all of us that unifies our spirits. We meet in the streets sometimes we look each other in the eyes, others we just pass by with no special regards.
Building relationships with strangers doesn’t need the power of words; it is only from the fact of raising awareness about one another. The nonverbal ability of humans to express then goes beyond, from ignorance to interest or a shy smile that acknowledges the other…we always find a way to Communicate, simply because we are HUMANS…
Therefore, let this small message be my start and OUR start in a world of Communication
