Be yourself ..!

Seseorang mulai berjualan ikan segar di pasar. Ia memasang papan pengumuman bertuliskan
"Di sini Jual Ikan Segar".

Tidak lama kemudian datanglah seorang pengunjung yang menanyakan tentang tulisannya.
"Mengapa kau tuliskan kata: DI SINI?...
Bukankah semua orang sudah tahu kalau kau berjualan DI SINI, bukan DI SANA?"

"Benar juga!" pikir si penjual ikan, lalu dihapusnya kata "DI SINI"
dan tinggallah tulisan "JUAL IKAN SEGAR".

Tidak lama kemudian datang pengunjung kedua yang juga menanyakan tulisannya.
"Mengapa kau pakai kata SEGAR?
Bukankah semua orang sudah tahu kalau yang kau jual adalah ikan segar, bukan ikan busuk?".

"Benar juga" pikir si penjual ikan, lalu dihapusnya kata "SEGAR" dan tinggallah tulisan "JUAL IKAN".

Sesaat kemudian datanglah pengunjung ketiga yang juga menanyakan tulisannya:
"Mengapa kau tulis kata JUAL?
Bukankah semua orang sudah tahu kalau ikan ini untuk dijual, bukan dipamerkan?".

"Benar juga" pikir si penjual ikan, lalu dihapusnya kata JUAL & tinggallah tulisan "IKAN".

Selang beberapa waktu kemudian, datang pengunjung ke-4, yang juga menanyakan tulisannya:
"Mengapa kau tulis kata IKAN?
Bukankah semua orang sudah tahu kalau ini Ikan bukan Daging?".

"Benar juga" pikir si penjual ikan, lalu diturunkannya papan pengumuman itu & tidak ada papan pengumuman apapun...

Renungan:
Bila kita ingin MEMUASKAN SEMUA ORANG, kita tidak akan mendapatkan apa-apa, tidak akan kemana-mana.....
Be yourself ...:)

Why am I BLACK?

This is deep, so take your time.

 Why Did You Make Me Black Lord ....

Lord .... Why did you make me black?

Why did you make someone

the world would hold back?

Black is the color of dirty clothes,

of grimy hands and feet...

Black is the color of darkness,

of tired beaten streets...

Why did you give me thick lips,

a broad nose and kinky hair?

Why did you create someone

who receives the hated stare?

Black is the color of the bruised eye

when someone gets hurt...

Black is the color of darkness,

black is the color of dirt.

Why is my bone structure so thick,

my hips and cheeks so high?

Why are my eyes brown,

and not the color of the sky?

Why do people think I'm useless?

How come I feel so used?

Why do people see my skin

and think I should be abused?

Lord, I just don't understand...

What is it about my skin?

Why is it some people want to hate me

and not know the person within?

Black is what people are 'Labeled'

when others want to keep them away...

Black is the color of shadows cast...

Black is the end of the day.

Lord you know my own people mistreat me,

and you know this just ain't right... 

They don't like my hair, 

they don't like my skin, 

as they say I'm too dark or too light!

Lord, don't you think

it's time to make a change?

Why don't you redo creation

and make everyone the same?

GOD's Reply:

Why did I make you black?

Why did I make you black?

I made you in the color of coal

from which beautiful diamonds are formed...

I made you in the color of oil,

the black gold which keeps people warm.

Your color is the same as the rich dark soil

that grows the food you need...

Your color is the same as the black stallion and

panther, Oh what majestic creatures indeed!

All colors of the heavenly rainbow

can be found throughout every nation...

When all these colors are blended,

you become my greatest creation!

Your hair is the texture of lamb's wool,

such a beautiful creature is he...

I am the shepherd who watches them,

I will ALWAYS watch over thee!

You are the color of the midnight sky,

I put star glitter in your eyes...

There's a beautiful smile hidden behind your pain...

That's why your cheeks are so high!

You are the color of dark clouds

from the hurricanes I create in September...

I made your lips so full and thick,

so when you kiss...they will remember!

Your stature is strong,

your bone structure thick to withstand the

burden of time...

The reflection you see in the mirror,

that image that looks back,..that is MINE!

So get off your knees,

look in the mirror and tell me what you see?

I didn't make you in the image of darkness...

I made you in the image of ME!

And I'll fade in your world....!!

Does the pain
Ever go away?
Of seeing your face
Day after day
Will you ever know
The depths I take
To try and show
We could be great
Do you see
The lies inside
That torture me
And this life?
*
But youll never see
Youll never want me
And Ill always be
Here for you to believe
I would die for you
Take my life at your word
But that wont matter to you
And Ill fade in your world

The anger I show
The hate I feel
Its not for you
But because of me
I love you
More than just friends
Ill die for you
In the very end
But I hate myself
For loving you
I wish Id tell
You this too
*
But youll never see
Youll never want me
And Ill always be
Here for you to believe
I would die for you
Take my life at your word
But that wont matter to you
And Ill fade in your world
*
In my head
I see us there
Hand in hand
Something so rare
But reality stings
And the truth hurts too
Much more than
I thought it would
I love you so much
I only want happiness for you
I love you so much
I want him to be with you

But youll never see
Youll never want me
And I'll always be
Here for you to believe
I would die for you
Take my life at your word
But that wont matter to you
And Ill fade in your world
*
I'll step aside
Be the friend
Youll get that guy
Again and again
And me and you
Will just be close
Nothing more
Thats what you know
*
But youll never see
Youll never want me
And Ill always be
Here for you to believe
I would die for you
Take my life at your word
But that wont matter to you
And Ill fade in your world.

Just Beautiful.....

 
Its all in the mind with the feeling of a purpose & belonging....
 
Have a super day..... 

After losing his parents, this 3 year old orangutan was so depressed he wouldn't eat and didn't respond to any medical treatments. The veterinarians thought he would surely die from sadness.

 

The zoo keepers found an old sick dog on the grounds in the park at the zoo where the orangutan lived and took the dog to the animal treatment center. The dog arrived at the same time the orangutan was there being treated.

 

The 2 lost souls met and have been inseparable ever since. The orangutan found a new reason to live and each always tries his best to be a good companion to his new found friend.

 

They are together 24 hours a day in all their activities.

 

 

They live in Northern California where swimming is their favorite past time, although Roscoe (the orangutan) is a little afraid of the water and needs his friend's help to swim.

 

 

 

Together they have discovered the joy and laughter in life and the value of friendship.

 

 
They have found more than a friendly shoulder to lean on.

 

 

 
Long Live Friendship!!!

 

I don't know... some say life is too short, others say it is too long, but I know that nothing that we do makes sense if we don't touch the hearts of others... while it lasts!

 

May you always have
Love to Share, Health to Spare, and Friends who Care.

I was Shocked, Confused and Bewildered

I was shocked, confused and bewildered as I entered
Heaven’s door

Not by the beauty of it all, or the lights or its

decor.

But it was the folks in Heaven
who made me sputter and gasp–

the thieves, the liars, the sinners,
the alcoholics and trash.

There stood the kid from seventh grade
who swiped my lunch money …twice!

Next to him was my old neighbor
who never said anything nice.

Herb, who I always thought
was rotting away in hell,

was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
looking incredibly well.

I nudged Jesus, “What’s the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.

How’d all these sinners get up here?
God must’ve made a mistake.

And why’s everyone so quiet,
so somber? Give me a clue.”

“Hush, child,” said He. “They’re all in shock.
No one thought they’d be seeing YOU!”
