"People are often unreasonable, irrational and self centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies; succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you; be honest and sincere. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight; create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous; be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten; do good anyway. Give the best you have and it may never be enough; give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway." - Mother Theresa

Just Like Flowers

It's like flowers. You try your hardest to keep them alive but in the end, they die. It's a little similar to life. The peddles are the beauty, the thorns are your trials, the stem is what makes you grow and that middle part of the flower in the center of all the peddles are all the meaningful things in life, like your family, friends, accomplishments, goals which keeps everything together.
Then there are the bees. They are those that come in to your life and pretty much ruin you. As they eat up all your nectar, the peddles slowly start to fall and the beauty of your life starts to fade.
I have many bees in my life. I really just want to catch them in a glass bottle and them suffocate until they die. But at the same time, without the bees in life we wouldn't be able to see the hard parts of life that, in the end, really do help us out. So, really, bees hurt, but bees help.
If only life were like a fairytale book. Where everything is great, you have one foe that you end up defeating anyway and you know that you will have a happily ever after. What a joke right?
