My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body? Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct Answer.
When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, 'My ears, Mommy.'
She said, 'No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.'
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer.
So this time I told her, 'Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.'
She looked at me and told me, 'You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.'
Stumped again, I continued my quest for knowledge and over the years,
Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, 'No. But you are getting smarter every year, my child.'
Then one year, my grandfather died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. Even my father cried.
I remember that especially because it was only the second time I saw him cry.
My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to my Grandfather.
She asked me, 'Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?'
I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me.
She saw the confusion on my face and told me, 'This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived in your life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you were wrong and I have given
you an example why.
But today is the day you need to learn this important lesson. 'She looked down at me as only a mother can. I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, 'My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder.'
I asked, 'Is it because it holds up my head?'
She replied, 'No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will always have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.'
Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one. It is made for others and not for yourself. It is sympathetic to the pain of others.
People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did . But people will NEVER forget how you made them feel.
The origination of this letter is unknown, but it brings a blessing to everyone who passes it on.
Good friends are like stars...You don't always see them, but you always know they are there.
Share this with a friend, I just did..
P.S: I thought the most important part is our heart.... not brain. Coz life is important, how we view it n how we live our life is equally important too.. But it seems like... that wasnt the correct ans lol...
Learnt a new lesson. :)
Life is more than a passing wind...☁ its a squalling rain☂ that comes with storm and ends with rainbow♒ =)

-Enigma: Blissfulness-
Loveless:
Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
We seek it thus, and take it to the sky
Ripples form on the water's surface
The wandering soul knows no rest
My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow
My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess
Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return.
Blissfulness:
Belief, Condemn, Salvation, Hatred, Joy,
Regression, Faith, Hesitation, Oblivious, Absolution
Human knows none but says so
When the reality crush fantasy
War, Power, Poverty, Starvation, Politic,
Economy, Disease, Anarchism, Rights, Freedom
What is that the world seeks of?
A reversing state of evolution has begun
Hope dies, dream flies
but we are still alive.
And so we fight, with all our might
Free like a kite, again we set sight
As we fly, soaring high
We do the right, and no more should die
Eternal darkness is only the prelude to the sky of light
Travel in Chronos and we will see the future shine with bright!
