Love loses to acting and friendship loses to pride.
How are you all? I hope you are well. The fact that we are alive, the fact that there are so many people, so many relationships around... sometimes it's not surprising! I mean, it just makes my heart skip a beat! Not today, two words are just spinning around in my head, spinning around. That's what I came to talk to you about. The words are: "Love loses to acting and friendship loses to pride." Phew! The words are small, but their meaning is not, it's very deep! Come on, let me share these random thoughts of mine with you.
Love... ah! Hearing this word gives me such a sweet feeling, doesn't it? A warmth comes! It's something that can completely change our lives! Loving someone, or receiving love from someone - tell me what a more beautiful feeling there is! But you know, lately, it feels like this true love is getting lost somewhere! Where has it gone! Around me, I see so much acting. People say one thing on their lips, but something else on their minds! It looks one thing, but inside everything is different! How strange!
All those fake smiles, fake compliments, or 'I can do anything for you, anything!' – all those sweet words! When these acts come in the guise of love, no one can understand them right away, right? And when the act breaks down, what happens? Love turns to dust! It completely breaks down! Then you think, oh my! Why did I trust this person or this relationship, Dad? That moment, it hurts so much. So much! It feels like this person who pretended to love me, didn't he have any real feelings? Not even a little! When I feel these pains, then a voice comes from within: Yes, love probably loses to this act! It feels so bad then. So much!
If love dies through acting, then no, there is another thing that can kill friendship – pride. Uff! Pride! What does friendship mean? Friendship means talking openly, being there, laughing, and jumping into danger, right? With a friend, there is no hiding, no need to wear a mask! We see a friend as a mirror of ourselves! Our own reflection!
But you know, when this ego thing enters the relationship, everything is ruined! It's over! Suppose, one of your friends may have done a little good in life. They got a little money, or they were called names. What happens then? Not many, but they change somehow! They think, 'I'm grown up now, you can't be like me!' This is a sense of ego, an 'I'm grown up' - such a thought!
Then, no, you get very angry! It seems like a little bit of pride can completely end a beautiful relationship of so many years! How can it! At that time, I think, yes, friendship probably loses to this pride!
I think, love and friendship – both of these are very important for our lives! Without them, life is empty, right? But these relationships, no, are like very soft glass. Very soft! They break if you are a little careless. And once they break, they can't be put back together, right? Acting and pride – these two things are like their biggest enemies. I mean, terrible enemies! If we want true love and friendship, then we have to stay away from these things. Absolutely away! Otherwise, everything becomes false. Then life is filled with only pain and regret.
I just want true love and pure friendship to be around us. Acting and pride should not take them away. Never.
I hope these random, but heartfelt, words of mine will raise some questions in your minds as well. Be well, everyone.
