When you thought I wasn’t looking by Mary Rita Schilke Korzan When you thought I wasn’t looking You hung my first painting on the refrigerator And I wanted to paint another. When you thought I wasn’t looking You fed a stray cat And I thought it was good to be kind to animals. When you thought I wasn’t looking You baked a birthday cake just for me And I knew that little things were special things. When you thought I wasn’t looking You said a prayer And I believed there was a God that I could always talk to. When you thought I wasn’t looking You kissed me good-night And I felt loved. When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw tears come from your eyes And I learned that sometimes things hurt— But that it’s alright to cry. When you thought I wasn’t looking You smiled And it made me want to look that pretty too. When you thought I wasn’t looking You cared And I wanted to be everything I could be. When you thought I wasn’t looking— I looked . . . And wanted to say thanks For all those things ...

HOW TO GET LOVED AND NEEDED? To flee away. Not to get attached. To be out of reach. To show indifference. To limit the access. From time to time. Important: to LOVE yourself.

Human nature: desperately loving someone who's inaccessible, neglecting the devoted.

Nothing lasts forever, pain and troubles included.

Студентам, особенно направления подготовки "юристпруденция", ДОбор/НАбор баллов - с любовью! CONVENTION FOR THOSE WOUNDED IN LOVE General provisions: A – Whereas the saying “all is fair in love and war” is absolutely correct; B – Whereas for war we have the Geneva Convention, approved on 22 August 1864, which provides for those wounded in the battle field, but until now no convention has been signed concerning those wounded in love, who are far greater in number; It is hereby decreed that: Article 1 – All lovers, of any sex, are alerted that love, besides being a blessing, is also something extremely dangerous, unpredictable and capable of causing serious damage. Consequently, anyone planning to love should be aware that they are exposing their body and soul to various types of wounds, and that they shall not be able to blame their partner at any moment, since the risk is the same for both. Article 2 – Once struck by a stray arrow fired from Cupid’s bow, th...

TIME TO GIVE, TIME TO RECEIVE It is important to know when we can pay attention and when we need attention. Often we are inclined to give, give, give without even asking anything in return. We may think this is a sign of generosity or even heroism. But it might be nothing else but a proud attitude that says: “I need no help from others. I just want to give.” When we keep giving without receiving we burn out quickly…there is a time to give and a time to receive. We need equal time for both if we want to live healthy lives.

PHILOSOPHICAL QUOTES http://philosophical-quotes.com/

Avoiding problems you need to face is avoiding the life you need to live.

Choosing a path meant having to miss out on others. She had a whole life to live, and she was always thinking that, in the future, she might regret the choices she made now. “I’m afraid of committing myself,” she thought to herself. She wanted to follow all possible paths and so ended up following none. After her first romantic disappointment, she had never again given herself entirely. She feared pain, loss, and separation. These things were inevitable on the path to love, and the only way of avoiding them was by deciding not to take that path at all. In order not to suffer, you had to renounce love. It was like putting out your own eyes not to see the bad things in life. Ever since time began, people have recognized their true Love by the light in their eyes. “When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.” “Don’t bother trying to explain your emotion...

THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS A merchant sent his son to learn the Secret of Happiness from the wisest of men. The young man wandered through the desert for forty days until he reached a beautiful castle at the top of a mountain. There lived the sage that the young man was looking for. However, instead of finding a holy man, our hero entered a room and saw a great deal of activity; merchants coming and going, people chatting in the corners, a small orchestra playing sweet melodies, and there was a table laden with the most delectable dishes of that part of the world. The wise man talked to everybody, and the young man had to wait for two hours until it was time for his audience. With considerable patience, the Sage listened attentively to the reason for the boy’s visit, but told him that at that moment he did not have the time to explain to him the Secret of Happiness. He suggested that the young man take a stroll around his palace and come back in two hours’ time. “However, I want to ask yo...
