Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.


O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.



Amen

The grass is always greener on the other side, I guess. When others are not truthful towards you, you demand their truthfulness. Yet when they are, there can be this sad/angry/jealous/uncomfortable feeling that you get from the truth that smacks you in the face. You may even go - hey I wanted you to be truthful, but maaaaybe not this truthful eh. Sounds familiar?

I guess this is just the ironic nature that faces man. Moderation is maybe indeed, then, the better option. Since year 5 economics, I have realized how the bottom-line answer to any question is that there isn't a one-sized fits all policy, there are always pros and cons, there is a need to strike a balance between the two policies etc etc.

Anyhow, the above is just to fill up some space in this post -

before you listen to this beautiful song (I especially love the contrast played in the last 2 lines of the verses)






Your love goes further still.
