I believe
...that if you smile when no one’s looking then it's really happiness.
I believe
...when you work hard even when you know you won’t get
rewarded then it’s really a job well-done.
I believe
....when you thank God for everything He has given you then
it’s really a prayer.
I believe
....when you do your karma and don’t brag about it then it's
really kindness.
I believe
....that when you care about someone even if he doesn’t then
it’s really love.
I believe
...when you give without wanting anything in return then it’s
really friendship.
I believe
...when you stand up even after falling down a hundred times then
it’s really determination.
I believe
...when you forgive and forget even if it still hurts then it's really generosity.
I believe
...when you have your heart beating very fast but you still
do it then it’s really courage.
I believe
...when you’ve done all of the above then you’re a hero and your
life is worth living for.
I agree with all the points except for the love one... :-P
ReplyDeleteLove is a mystery my friend! It cannot be defined by just one line. Yet I believe that caring selflessly is one of its most relevant meanings.
DeleteHmm... then Self Respect...???
DeleteIt doesn't say love even if he treats you like trash, does it? Some lines can be interpreted in a lot of ways. This is just one of them.
DeleteP.S. Rupasi, is it? :)
Ya but when we love someone so much but the other one doesn't at all... then that is kind of 'not love' but obsession... Anyways... Its ok! :):):) Love is not my cup of tea right now, and I am going through that phase where love is crap to me... So please ignore me :):):)
DeleteYup! Rupasi it is :) Finally thought of shedding the anynomity :)
Every line....AMEN!!!!
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree to every line! I am a heroine too then :)
ReplyDeleteSure..if you say so ;) :p
DeleteYou believe in all that is good .. .. excellent
ReplyDeleteBikram
Yes, I do! And I hope I keep believing in these always :)
DeleteBelieving in this is so much easier compared to executing it! :P
ReplyDeleteHaha.. that is true! Your strength in upholding these values/characteristics is tested when you are at your lowest. Not many can do that.
DeleteI agree to every line..loved the line about prayer. It is definitely about being grateful !
ReplyDeleteIt is. Asking for something is usually futile because you get things when you work for them. We should be grateful for the strength that God gives us to overcome every hurdle. That's prayer.
DeleteTruly Nisha!
ReplyDeleteHope we all get to be heroes everyday :)
Amen to that!
DeleteAgree. Lovely thoughts here Nisha.
ReplyDeleteThankyou!
Deletejob well done, kindness, love, friendship, determination, courage... thats all I can manage.
ReplyDeleteGenerosity n happiness as u describe it have kinda been squeezed out of my system :(
Well, happiness as I described it is really up to us. If we try being happy when we are alone, then that's it. After all, what is our purpose in life? - happiness, right?
DeleteI have seen very little in my life to qualify as someone who does what she preaches. So, I cannot be sure about generosity as I described it here. Although it would be smartness if you do forgive and forget.
I hope the prizes, the published stories and the little bit extra from work is keeping you happy :)
So beautifully put.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you liked it.
DeleteCouldn't have put it better! Agree to every line :)
ReplyDeleteSweet of you to say that! Thanks!
DeleteEvery line is utmost thoughtful, and enamored with beauty. But I feel, love is bi-directional, it cant be uni-directional. I hope you agree.
ReplyDeleteA mother loves his child, no? It is not always the romantic love. Plus, I feel, we need to be a little practical in love as well. If someone doesn't love us romantically, we need to move on. But it's love nevertheless and it hardly ever goes.
DeleteOh love, ever mysterious!
each & every line is a truth ... actually an inspiring truth ! :)
