River waters

The reason why the river flows toward the sea

is not only because I've been weeping

all day long

up on the hill

Not only because I've been blooming

like a sunflower in longing

all night long

up on the hill

The reason I've been weeping like a beast in sorrow

up on the hill

is not only because

the river flows toward the sea

from a collection of poems(titled "Back to Heaven") by Chon Sang Pyong(Korean Poet)

{The translators(into English)are Brother Anthony and Young-Moo Kim.}

My suggestion: If you don't get along with your family members at the moment,
How about taking this step? It worked out effectively with me.
Okay. Write letters to each of your family members. Find and select different, matching color letter papers and envelopes for each of them. Write to them what you can't say in a face-to-face conversation. Even superfluous words. Send the bunch of letters to their offices or school or home, yadda yadda yadda. At the same time.
It's a piece of cake, huh? Don't ya think so?

"Think of the power that's in the universe,
moving the earth, growing the trees.
That's the same power within yourself
" ---charlie chaplin---

Emancipatated life. I usually listen to Music as a therapy to set me free
from worrisome matter. Or read lines of Quotes & stories of Spiritual books.

When we're born, we're selected.
Sometimes it seems we forget how much precious our life is. Truly. The pains, the faliures(seemingly), struggling against them are all our rights. The right to live. The right to handle the endowed troubles. If we're always satisfied, full-of-happy occasions, then maybe we'll seek to find something to tackle.
I'm serious. I've gone through several occasions that made me a lot depressed unimaginably.

Now I say to myself: Let me see...What I've done for my life.
Don't let the troubles manipulate myself. Keep your chin up.
Our lives are up to ourselves. That's what I bear in my mind anywhere

I confess to you I was once suffered from serious
demoralization, melancholia, pessimism. It takes time to find the right breakthrough but please the answer is in our hands. We just need to unfold it. Please spread your being. You valuable exsistence. Please remeber there's always exit at the corner. WE'RE UNIQUE.

<<     The greatest pain in life
       is not to die,
       but to be ignored.
       To lose the person you love so much
       to another who doesn't care at all.
       To have someone you care so about so much
       throw a party...
       and not tell you about it.
       When your favorite person on earth
       neglects to invite you to his graduation.
       To have people think that you don't care.

       The greatest pain in life,
       is not to die,
       but to be forgotten.
       To be left in the dust after another's great achievement.
       To never get a call from a friend,
       just saying "hi".
       When you show someone your innermost thoughts
       and they laugh in your face.
       For friends to always be
       too busy to console you
       when you need someone to lift your spirits.
       When it seems like the only person who cares about you,
       is you.

       Life is full of pain,
       but does it ever get better?
       Will people ever care about each other,
       and make time for those who are in need?
       Each of us has a part to play
       in this great show we call life.
       Each of us has a duty to mankind
       to tell our friends we love them.
       If you do not care about your friends
       you will not be punished.
       You will simply be ignored...
       forgotten...
       as you have done to others.


       *This poem was written by a young girl who committed suicide three
years ago.  Perhaps if the people surrounding her had shown a little more
love, and had paid more attention to her, her death could have been
prevented.  Remember that when going through life, you can't judge a sad,
lonely, or suicidal person by their facial expression.  You need to get to
know each person you come in contact with, cherish your friendship with
them,
and show them that you care.*

       Please forward to everyone you care about.    >>

In the quickness of our haste
It seems we forget how to live
The old blueprint
No longer manifests itself
As correct way to exist

So wipe the grime off the view hole
And take a closer look
Environmental bandits
Up to their shenanigans
Crooks disguised as you and I

***We've got to find another way
to make the world go 'round

Our individual roles we think
Not so important to the plot
The big picture unseen
Leaving life in between
Destroyed ans overwrought

There's no need to point the finger
We understand who takes the blame
Diliquents caught
REd-handed in the act
Crooks disguised as you and I

***repeat

You see there's many many many many
people in the world
And I'm not sure if I like
What I've heard
I'm not sure if I like
What I'm doing myself
I'm not sure if I like how it turns

Degradation
Violation
Inexcusable exploitation
It's the dawning of a new era
People consiciously don't care
How unfair

***repeat again
