before and now

ben
There are times that you eat what you say. This is true. There are times that you give in to a notion that you try to negate before. There are times that you go gaga for some things knowing that you cursed them in the past. Crazy, right? These are paradoxes, aren’t they? Let's take a look at these:

The person you hated much in college has become your bestfriend.
The person you went well with in college or at work for a long time has become your worst enemy.
The person you dumped when you were younger is now your lover or husband or wife.
The food you disliked before is now your favorite one.
The color you detested before has become your everyday color.
The expression you used to abhor is now the accessory of your mouth.
The job you never dreamed of landing on is now your most enjoyed one.
The hobby that you hated much has brought you into fame.
The rich have become the poor in the society.
The fashion that you always criticized before has become your trademark.

There are many other paradoxes, distinct and not, in someone's life. You, what are your paradoxes?

when love is tormented

Why is it when someone's love life is tormented everything seems unlikely and ugly but when someone's love life is stable everything seems at its place?

Love is the greatest possession a man should have in order to live a satisfying life. If love ceases in someone, satisfaction is barely achievable. As the saying goes, "Love conquers all." Whenever there is love, everything is beautiful and fulfilling. The sun keeps on shining because of its light so as a man keeps on living because of love.




her life or the baby's?


She wailed so deeply while walking out of the room after the gynecologist told her that a baby was formed inside her womb.Why did the woman cry this way? The timing was so convenient for her after being married to a man she earnestly prayed for. Was it a happy cry or a rueful one?

A scene flashed back into her mind what happened five years ago. This was a desperate and bleak event that she would always carry until the end of her life. She thought it was the only resort to end her shame in the society she lived in. How could she ever survive with it after the man she loved abandoned her? It was so painful, physically and emotionally, that it took her some months to recover. This was a nightmare that always haunted her whenever she went to bed. She had lived on chaotically for some time with the idea of intentionally dislodging her baby.

The doctor found out that the earlier procedure had damaged her uterus severely. She could still conceive a baby but she could die from it unfortunately. The cause of her great moan originated from the idea that she had to choose from the two: her life or the baby's?

in-laws

Women often think that 'in-laws' are the 'meddling party' in a relationship. But there is only one stone to break this old believed-to-be preconceived notion of having in-laws and that is not to treat them as in-laws but treat them as our own family. Only then we will realize that in-laws are not villains but supporters to the heroine.
