Things and People

Things are supposed to be used and people are supposed to be loved. But sadly, the world loves things and uses people. Have you observed that we always love the message and not the messenger, the song and not the singer, the movie and not the actor, the paint and not the painter, the benefits of friendship and not the friend, the book and not the author and the gifts and not the giver. We always like what people do and not who they really are. We miss the fact that people want to be appreciated, loved and embraced. As Oprah Winfrey rightfully puts it," lots of people want to ride with you in a limo but what you really want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks." Its important to check the people around you to see if they love you for who you are and not for what you have. Its important to check if you love people for who they are and not for what they do.

Because as you move forward, you need the right people in your life. People who will give you support when you are crumbling, strength when you sre weak, comfort when you are hurting,encouragement when you are depressed and hope when everything in your life is gloomy. You need people who will give you unconditional love and support. People you can trust with your life.. So, check yourself and those around you.
