Tangent dreams of a merry world
gone by in a distant swirl
reality has broken quite a few
fallen on grass like the morning dew
At night he goes to the mountain
and weeps like a flowing fountain
once he had it all
glory in bounty before his fall
Now alone he sits in the evenings
reminiscing his old beginnings
tending to old wounds
and feeding his hounds
They call him the old man
he is a grouch from Dec to Jan
cause little do they know
you reap what you sow.
-Niyati Parab
Why do people hurt those closest to them?
They want to earn respect and be famous around strangers,
but often in that process become strangers to their own family.
they are at their best behaviour around strangers,
but showcase their worst to their near ones.
Why are we instead of gaining love of one’s own family, out to get the love of people who at the end of the day have their own family and won’t care as much for you? and yet it is your family which will be worried if you’re cold or hungry.
And all you do is drive them away with constant bombarding, only to long for them in the winter of your life.
It is indeed a sorrowful world we live in.

Words
Choose your words very carefully. ‘ Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will not hurt me’ , one has said this many times in one’s lifetime, it is said because the words did actually hurt, to put up a brave front we use such quotes to protect and shield us. One must understand that rain grows flowers , not thunder. So hence choose your words carefully and wisely and show kindness to others. Even in conversation, we throw loose words here and there without thinking, the other person remains unaffected by appearance but inside he’s hurting so hence it’s important to think twice before speaking.
