WHEN FRIENDS TURN TO FOES

This is by no means a new thing phenomenon: the Bible says "there’s nothing new under the sun". There are several examples scattered throughout history; from Caeser and Brutus to Jesus and Judas, history as the cliche goes seems to repeat itself. Which begs the question: Why is it that even when we’ve been forewarned, advised, chastised even gotten our fingers burnt a couple of times or in most cases, one time too many? Why do we still walk along to the chopping block, seemingly blind and deaf to all the signs and warnings, walking on to take the plunge to our downfall, like lamb to the slaughter? Why?

It’s never a good feeling having someone we hold in high regard, care about or love disappoint us. It truly hurts when a friend turns to foe, the pain felt is like hot steel piercing our chest, the resulting scar we bear for years and years. Often times, we react by shutting out everyone, retreating to a lonely cave. Once there, we sink to the depths of the earth, totally in doldrums, feeling defeated, we embrace despair. From this point it’s virtually impossible to see any silver lining not to talk of the sky. 

Sadly, in an average person’s lifetime, it’ll probably happen more often than we’d care to count.

So, have you had such an experience and what were the lessons learnt? Drop your comments and reactions. Meanwhile, I smell a sequel, lol.

WORLD OF OPPOSITES

Here's an idea I had some nights ago. What if...? Again my Shakespeare/Aristotle  leanings coming to the fore. Our imagination is limitless. Dare to dream.

When rain rises and steam falls.
When the sky is earth and the earth sky
With blue sands and big black seas
When pain is pleasure and pleasure is pain

Life is death and death is life
To be born as adults and die as children
Where night is day and day is night
Where the compass points south and birds migrate north during winter
Where snow is black and coal be white
To see in the dark and be blind in the light

Lets go up to the valleys and down to the hills
Let the ground rise and fall like the tides of seas
Lets walk on water but swim in the sands
And like the world believed in the time of Galileo...
...let the earth be flat and the rest of the universe too.
