quote

I love quotes! My friend Evelyn has her favourite quotes on her site and I was happily going through them, when I noticed one. Of course I'm sorry that after such a long long time, I had just gone through those quotes only yesterday! *sorry Evelyn!

"When I walk on the beach and enjoy the sunset, I do not call out: "A little more orange over the right, please," or: "Would you mind giving us a bit less purple in the back?" No, I enjoy the always different sunsets, as they are. We do well to do the same with the people we love."
— Carl Rogers

Doesn't it make absolute sense? And isn't it funny how the things that usually make sense are things that are overlooked by most people? Yes, I am guilty as charged.

I love it that everyone around me has different characters, some sweet, some weird, some smart, some not. Yet as your life revolves around these differences, you tend to forget the beauty of it all and they aversely evolved into thorns pricking into you. As they prick, you grumble how these thorns can grow into such razor-sharp and malignant things. Why these detrimental thorns seem to go all out to hurt you. And all these ill-feelings develop into distress and torment. Soon after, you resolve to discard future dealings with these thorns. Alas! Your friendship is forever marred.

Carl Rogers reminded me of the beauty of sunsets. And the fact that God created us in such a beautiful way. It's not easy you know, having to create and manufacture so many gazillions of people with gazillions of variations. And I complain when I have to come up with a few different sketches!

So I shall try to always remember that the sunsets are really beautiful and magnificent because they are never the same. Bye bye.
