us and them together there’s not much we could do then so we split into our ‘own’ decent groups of people who liked each other very much and spoke good things always of one another so much good was said that bad felt like an insult hurled like a dead smelly rat into the sewer and soon, pride became our lies-infested crown a forte with growing fault-lines that’s when I realised that I missed them them that said I was wrong them that said I could be better for I needed them to say it black for I wanted to grow from black and white to grey and from grey shades to colours yes, I am sure I miss them because amongst all that speak good of me there must be at least a few that say there are things that should be done better and that there are other ways I want us with me as well for praise is priced thrice as gold and it brings comfort too parcelled in extra-large bags cushioned with selfless adore yet, somehow, I feel us and them belong together so what if we don’t get along as well can’t time mend the broken lines and replace them with hair-line fractures -------- sincerely don't know why I wrote this, but since I did write it, I share it here...  thanks all... |

yes, I am sure I miss them because amongst all that speak good of me there must be at least a few that say there are things that should be done better and that there are other ways My goodness Sudhir.....these are extraordinary words! Yes, we need "them", as this is how we learn to improve ourselves, or how to remain as we are, and also to learn compassion for others. This is a wonderful read this morning. Thankyou for it and your smile. Chris "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

My friend.. the lesson inside this is wise beyond the years your picture show you to be... we all need both sides of this coin you flipped out here for us to bet on.. heads or tails we win... because we are always walking the edges of acceptance and rejection.. a 50-50 chance we will find balance over time... enjoyed this more than I can tell you... |

I want us with me as well for praise is priced thrice as gold and it brings comfort too parcelled in extra-large bags cushioned with selfless adore And open mind, and a forgiving heart is a large part of the beauty that radiates from within. You are so talented Sudhir~ and always a pleasure to read. |

Sudhir, what a priceless gem of truth you have written here. I love it all, but this part really summed it all up for me.... yes, I am sure I miss them because amongst all that speak good of me there must be at least a few that say there are things that should be done better and that there are other ways I want us with me as well for praise is priced thrice as gold and it brings comfort too parcelled in extra-large bags cushioned with selfless adore I know that I need both "them" and "us". The "them" has always kept me trying harder, and the "us" has always gives me the courage to try harder and to have confidence in the who I am. Thank you for sharing this with us. Hugs,  Ethel [This message has been edited by garysgirl (04-29-2003 04:49 PM).] |

Sudhir, WOW! You are a young man who definately has a heart. One who cherishes friends and family to the utmost. You are a treasure to whomever you come in contact with. Keep writing, even when you don't understand why. You have a lot to say. Thanks for sharing. quatro |

yet, somehow, I feel us and them belong together so what if we don’t get along as well can’t time mend the broken lines and replace them with hair-line fractures If only that were true... You write with such flair. I admire you. M |
