This is something a friend of mine wrote. I call her Din. It's EXTREMELY well-written, in my opinion. I hope you take the time to read it, because I think you'll enjoy it. 
Life is like the ocean. It falls and it rises, it dulls and it sparkles, it purifies and pollutes. Yet, under the gentle rhythmic waves, there is a whole world just waiting to be discovered. Is it a peaceful sanctuary or a desperate world filled with cries for help? People are like fish and sharks. There are those who can handle the truth, and those who are too narrow-minded to accept it.
The beauty in what we can hardly understand is what sets us apart from all other living creatures. What drives us, beckons us, into striving to find a reason for this life. It’s like the wind. You feel its presence, but you cannot understand why it is present, or why it cannot be seen by your eyes.
The darkness is beautiful. It soothes us, and we will never know why. Like the minds eye that says, "Go forward, Jump the hurdle, Cross the river, Climb the mountain, Shine like the sun, find your purpose in life."
We should ask ourselves, why do we think we do not benefit from the burdens in our lives? Are we too simple minded? Can we not cope with the fact that there are emotional boundaries way beyond our comprehension?
The burning desire to love and to lust is what keeps half of our soul occupied, while the other half looks for the meaning of our existence. Our present, Future, and End. Our Destiny.
We overlook the Concept of destiny. It just seems like a word that would be used in a novel for a good plot point, but whether we like it or not, there is a mysterious force watching over us.
The world’s greatest lie is about fate. That in one point of our lives, we lose control of what is happening, and our lives are controlled by fate.
Love. We all talk about it, but what is love? Love is like seeing a ghost, many of us talk about it, but very few of us have seen one. Everyone is in it for one reason. "Me." What’s in it for me? Carelessly, the word love has been tainted with the words "lust" and "sex". Human kind will never appreciate true love; we have too much violence and malice in our souls to do so.
Depression. Love and depression. Like sweet and sour. Depression is a state of mind. Most of us think we know it all, seen it all, and so on. However, how wrong these people are. Shallowness. Its like being in a pool, most people hang around the shallow edge and wait a while, but a few others take the plunge into the deep end and have fun. The people in the deep end are the ones we can truly call the wise ones, and respect is theirs.
Another word we oversee is respect. We all strive to gain another’s respect. Why? Is it because we like these people? Or we wish to present ourselves higher than them?
Anger, Hatred, Betrayal, Revenge. Burning strong words. But what are they? A state of mind? and Impulse? Will we ever know?
Life is like water sliding off a River stone. Off it goes, bit by bit, and takes a lot of patience, but the results are well worth it.
Why do some of us hurt others? Do we enjoy their pain? What happened to us as humans?
Love, Respect, Destiny, Anger, Depression, and Betrayal. The utmost main elements of life. Are the meanings of these words rooted deep into a wise person’s heart, or are they blowing and twisting in the shadows of darkness? Humankind has forgotten the things we must remember.
No matter how much you try to escape the thought, Anger and depression is at every turn. They make us think that pain is the only thing in life. We, as the narrow-minded human, make others sink to our level of lowness a lot.
Love is the word we heard ever since we where born, to the day we will reach the grave. There is a person out there for everyone. Sounds familiar? Sadly, no. The divorce rate is higher than ever. Many people die unloved. What have we done to this simple four-lettered word? Destroyed the true meaning, messed with the emotion, and mingled the whole concept in every way.
Why are there times in which we just want to kneel over and die? There ARE reasons, and many at that, but we can never see that this is just a mere selfishness.
Life can be like a burden. One time you want to kill yourself, and give it all up, to be put out of misery… But we will never know why the ocean falls and rises, likewise, there are reasons you are experiencing this life, and there are reasons why you don’t know that reason.
"Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful
Or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offence and is not
Resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins, but delights in the
Truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever
comes."
That is love… and there’s so much more it can do! I set my example to be that…
Because it needs to start with someone.
