Treasures

Well, yesterday was fun. I burnt our pizzas, ruined mine by putting too much aceto balsamico onto my plate and watched a film without really knowing what I was actually watching because of two much more interesting persons next to me laughing their heads off at... nothing. I mean it couldn't be the film - it was a drama - and there was absolutely nothing funny in the room. I think I gave them too much sugar. T and L, that is. Oh well. But is was fun. Really. Made me forget all trouble. That is one thing I love my best friends for; they easily distract me from anything negative - when we're together, I'm just happy. Which makes friendship so precious that I cannot name an equal treasure. Friendship is stronger than love, stronger than hate and deceit. Friendship is the one thing I see worth the risk and trouble getting.
Another treasure is life itself. It may seem hopeless and unfair at times, but then you remember all the good things in the past, things, wonders that may come in the future. Motivations to move on, to live. Breathing in air is not living. Breathing in emotions, happenings, surroundings, feeling them under one's skin, that is living.
A man once wanted to jump off a bridge, when his phone called. It was his wife telling him that she was pregnant. The man broke down, crying. A passer by asked him why he was sad. The man said: "Here I was, wanting to die. But I had forgotten about my wife at home, our future together, our child. In my despair I only saw my pain, not the happiness of others." The passer by answered: "It is the happiness of others that makes us remember our place in life. Go home, to your wife, let her share her happiness with you. May you two be blessed." He walked off. After the birth of his child, the man wanted to find the passer by to thank him. He found him in a graveyard, his name carved into a stone. The woman standing in front of the grave with her child told him he had killed himself while she had been pregnant five years ago. He had never lived to see the baby. The man went home in silence, and he never forgot the day a ghost had saved him from a fate he would have regretted into eternity.
You guys out there, value and treasure your life, and never think of giving up. No matter how hard it may be, always hope for better times, and to see that hope fulfilled, do something to accomplish a better world!
