Beyond The Surface

By Pooja on June 04, 2015 / 5,988 views

So many unsaid feelings, So many unsaid thoughts, So many unsaid emotions, Such are our minds like a deep ocean Because there is so much beyond the surface. We laugh with the people we love, We cry for the people we care, We spend our lives with the dearest ones, Still we wait till losing them to realize their real worth Which makes me...

The Little Things

By Samantha T on June 04, 2015 / 6,359 views

Recently I've been enjoying going to get a sub from Subway on my way home from school, and just about every time I go it's the same man working there. I'm not exactly sure but I think he is autistic or has something along those lines but either way he's very nice. So the other day when I stopped in he asked me, as always, how my day was and then he preceded to make my sub, then just...

A Part Of God's Creation

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 04, 2015 / 5,388 views

I was sitting in my car with the windows rolled down. My daughter had a meeting in the building in front of me and I was waiting to give her a ride home. The eighty degree day was wrapping the world in its warmth. A gentle breeze was blowing. Fat, fluffy clouds coasted lazily across the sky. The sun was washing the world with its golden light, making everything more beautiful. It sparkled off the green leaves...

To The Woman Who Tipped Me $13 On $27

By Zetterberger on June 03, 2015 / 1,861 views

We didn't have Malibu, so you ordered a sweet tea. You ordered a small and medium pizza. I brought you two small pizzas. It was my second true-blue mistake on the job. I felt like an idiot. You were wonderful and understanding, professing that it was okay. You'd order another if need be. But the pizza's came out burnt. You explained how you had been a server, completely understood it was my second...

People Are Not As They Seem

By Elaradon on June 02, 2015 / 6,829 views

I recently have had the obvious realization that people are not the same as they may appear. As someone who is different in person as I may appear to others observing from a distance, I understand this. Now I know this is the same as every other 'Don't judge a book by its cover' post on sites all over the internet, but I just want to help enforce that idea. I just want people to remember...

A Warrior Is Not What You Think

By Sitting Bull on June 01, 2015 / 13,939 views

For us, warriors are not what you think of as warriors. The warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another's life. The warrior, for us, is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others. His task is to take care of the elderly, the defenseless, those who cannot provide for themselves, and above all, the children, the future of humanity. ~Sitting...

Duke

By Joseph J. Mazzella on May 29, 2015 / 7,167 views

I was blowing the dust off of some of my Grandma's old photo albums the other day and looking at pictures of that little boy I used to be. One in particular caught my eye. I was smiling, sitting in a corner chair by an old bookcase, hugging my best friend in the whole world. That friend was my dog, Duke. Duke was a strange name for such a little dog. He couldn't have weighed more than 20...

A Letter To My Daughter

By Mom on May 28, 2015 / 4,065 views

My dear girl, The day you see I'm getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I'm going through. If when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand times, don't interrupt to say: "You said the same thing a minute ago"... Just listen, please. Try to remember the times when you were little and I would read the same story night after night...

I'd Love To Believe

By Ashutosh Adhikari on May 28, 2015 / 4,460 views

I'd love to believe that when I die, I'll live again. That some thinking, feeling and remembering part of me will continue. But much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide traditions that assert an afterlife. I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than just wishful thinking. The world is so exquisite, with so much love and moral depth that there is...

We Can Learn From Nature!

Gold - can pass through fire. Diamond - goes through tough mining which runs about 160 km down into the earth with hundreds of tons of rock, gravel and sand that need to be blasted, drilled, crushed and processed to yield just 27,000 kg mined diamond annually. And only about 20% of the mined diamond are suitable for polishing, and the rest are by-products and are used for industrial...

Just a selection of thoughts from some of the words greatest minds that show that it's the way you think that affect you and others around you: 'The resolution to see the world as ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad' ( Friedrich Nietzsche) 'If you plant a mustard seed a mustard plant grows, if you plant a Rose seed a Rose bush grows, if you plant discontent;...

I'm Not Happy

By Kevin Smith on May 22, 2015 / 6,591 views

I've been around 44 years now, and I've been a round boy for most of those years as well. I always imagined thinner people were happier than me - but after losing 80 pounds, I can't say that I'm any happier than I was as a fat-ass. I'm not complaining, mind you: I just imagined I'd feel differently. I imagined I'd know a different kind of happiness than I'd never known before....

Thoughts

By Roald Dahl on May 21, 2015 / 2,278 views

If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your...

Attitude Is Everything

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. "Well, she said, I think I'll braid my hair today." So she did and she had a wonderful day. The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. "H-M-M," she said, "I think I'll part my hair down...
