There should be a next life!

Posted on

Ten years ago, I was …..

…

Well, life was more beautiful and much easier.

Things have changed!

War or terror… I lost friends, family members, and properties. I lost a lot of my beautiful memories. I have close ones that I see their sorrows yet I’m not able to offer a lot of help.

Responsibilities with distance… I have no much time left nor do I have the required power!

My heart, prayers, and thoughts are with all who are suffering (including me).

Is it shameful for men to cry?!

P.S., I’m sorry, Linda. I started this post with an intention to write something for you, my dear friend regarding your loss. Rather, I found that I’m writing about myself and about this life.

There is never shame in crying. It shows we are human. Peaceful blessings, my friend.

It’s not shameful to cry. Crying is a healthy release of emotions.

So much loss and tragedy and so many of us are powerless.
Tears are prayers too, they travel to God when we cannot speak.
My thoughts go out to you! :'(

  Thank you very much, my dear friend, Ally. Yes, I trust that our tears are prayers too. I also trust that there is a God to take care of us all the time… I totally appreciate your kind and encouraging words.

    I will keep praying Mohamad. God didn’t say that we would have no suffering, but He promised to always be with us, even in our very darkest hours. I can say that I have felt God’s comfort in dark hours.

One of the great injustices of life is being raised that Men don’t cry. My folks always said it made you weak.
It wasn’t until I learned to cry that I realized how strong it really made me.

  I know, William. It’s not an easy or common thing in our society. Yet, it’s very helpful, at least when in privacy. Thank you very much my friend for your encouraging words.

    Of course, I’ll do it, Patrick. However, there is something on your website that is very slow and causing memory hug. Check the plugins/widgets/theme you’re using or you may contact the WP support team

I wish more people felt they could cry when they need to.
I wish you well.

  Hmm, it’s not easy to cry or to express such a need! But sometimes, we can’t hold it. May all be safe and happy. Thank you very much, Marie.

The Buddhists see life as the struggle to gain enlightenment so you can end the otherwise endless cycle of rebirth!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Yes. 10 years ago the world seemed brighter.
No. It is never a shame to cry.
Yes. Some say what does not kill you makes you stronger. But surely we are strong enough now.
Let us all pray for a more peaceful World.
