Love Me

Love me in the Springtime, when all is green and new,
Love me in the Summer, when the sky is oh so blue,
Love me in the Autumn, when the leaves are turning brown,
Love me in the Winter, when the snow is falling down.

Love me when I’m happy, and even when I’m sad,
Love me when I’m good, or when I’m oh so bad,
Love me when I’m pretty, or if my face is plain,
Love me when I’m feeling good, or when I’m feeling pain.

Love me always darlin’, in the rain or shining sun,
Love me always darlin’, after all is said and done,
Love me always darlin’, until all our life is through,
Love me always darlin’, for I’ll be lovin’ you!

In this world, there is no absolute good, no absolute evil…

“In this world, there is no absolute good, no absolute evil,” the man said. “Good and evil are not fixed, stable entities, but are continually trading places. A good may be transformed into an evil in the next second. And vice versa. Such was the way of the world that Dostoevsky depicted in The Brothers Karamazov. The most important thing is to maintain the balance between the constantly moving good and evil. If you lean too much in either direction, it becomes difficult to maintain actual morals. Indeed, balance itself is the good.”

Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

Good or bad, hard to tell…absolutely agree!

Once upon a time, there was a great king.

He has a smart henchman and always takes him along everywhere.

One day, the king got bitten by a dog giving him a severe wound. He asked the henchman

“Is this some kind of bad luck?

” The henchman said “Good or bad. Hard to tell.” Finally the king lost his finger.

He asked the henchman again

“Is this some kind of bad luck?” Same reply by the henchman “Good or bad. Hard to tell.“

The King got very angry and orders to put him in the jail.

Few days later, the king went out for hunting and got caught by barbarians.

They wanted to sacrifice the king.

Fortunately, they found that the king’s fingers are not complete so they decided to release the king

because he’s not a complete human anymore.

The king went back to the castle and immedietly orders to release the henchman.

He is now understands what the henchman said about “Good or not. hard to tell.”

Something which seems to be good can be bad later on and, likewise, something which seems

to be bad can be good finally.

He apologized to the henchman but the henchman wasn’t angry with him at all. He told the king

“If you didn’t put me in jail I would have to go with you and the barbarians would sacrifice me instead after they found

that your fingers are incomplete.“

Truely, good or bad depends on how we look at it. If we understand this inconsistency

we will live in the world very happily.

 

What You See

If you look for good, you’ll find good. 

If you look for bad, you’ll find bad. 

In life, you always find what you look for. 

Only thing that matters is – what you choose to see.
