6 REASONS FOR LIVING

{1}
Once all villagers decided to pray for rain,
on the day of prayer all the people gathered,
but only one boy came with an umbrella.
That’s FAITH
{2}
When you throw a baby in the air,
it laughs because it knows you will catch it.
That’s TRUST
{3}
Every night we go to bed,
without any assurance of being alive the next morning
but still we set the alarm to wake up.
That’s HOPE
{4}
We plan big things for tomorrow
in spite of zero knowledge of the future.
That’s CONFIDENCE
{5}
We see the world suffering,
but still we get married and have children.
That’s LOVE
{6}
On an old man’s shirt was written a sentence
‘I am not 80 years old . . .
I am sweet 16 with 64 years experience.’
That’s ATTITUDE
Have a happy day —-and please do try to live your life like the six stories above!

  1. Thank you Foreveryoung…………I think you have now extended my life as you have given me some very sound reasons; whilst I think we all need and should value the life given us…………how precious and fragile it is…………but having no proof of the alternative I shall gladly hold on….. be it by the skin of my teeth!!
