The writer:
A man's passion is what I speak of today. It's a burning desire, even Solomon feared it. It is almost uncontrollable and it burns itself out.
This passion that comes from within us to be shared with someone is like a pistol waiting to be pulled by the trigger, "this passion lays dormant until you go an inch closer to it, it then draws you, lures you and entraps you". We should beware not to let our desires consume us, even though they are there for good reasons.
We should learn to starve our desires sometimes because if you always give in to your fleshy desires, you become weaker and weaker until you become a slave to the flesh.
"Woe to the man that lacks self-control for he is on his way to doom".
A woman is beautiful, she was made beautiful by God, she was made attractive in different shapes and sizes, she was made fair and soft skinned and she is a million in flesh.
Man, there are so many women and you cannot have them all, if you try to, you'll only die in the process.
If you give in to the desire to have one and have another and another, you'll be entrapped before you know it because we are insatiable.
"The fires of desire burns and it will burn you before you know it".
A forest fire starts from a spark, then it grows and becomes a wildfire, but you can control it when it's a little fire if you are aware because YOU ARE THE FOREST GUARD
The writer:
I wake up each day to find myself living the moment I lived the day before.
So many times, I have slept and woken up, but as each day and each moment pass, it becomes a shadow, the memories, now frames of blurry pictures in my mind gradually fading away, as if it isn't there but it's there. And all that remains when it lasts is each second that passes, each second gone and lost.
Is this reality? I ask myself -it's like living the same day over and over again. As if the days don't age but I do, I wish this day will bring something new, a new dream, a new shadow, a new experience.
I think sometimes, maybe we are the illusions -we make ourselves the illusions, or maybe we are truly awake when we are asleep and we live this dream calling it reality -this reality that doesn't last forever.
I say " life is a bed of roses --but we know roses have thorns right." Roses because of the beauty of life and thorns because of the struggles we face in life.
In life people face good things and bad things.
Sometimes during our moment of pain, some of us if not all of us think and I quote "I don't deserve this, why is this happening to me." or "I'm a good person and I'm not supposed to go through this."
I have come to understand that in life, things happen, shit happens (don't mind my language) and so when you experience pain --which is only there for the time it lasts-- try not to lament too much. Because you need to remember the good times you've enjoyed of this life.
P.S - pain makes you feel a lot.
You undergo a rush of feelings, mostly not positive feelings.
God can ease your pain.
