heard this during homily tdy

It is better to love then to be loved; and
It is better to give then to receive.




God obviously wants for us to be selfless and compassionate.
ever ready to love, ever ready to forgive.
but how many of us can truly do so?

God also knows we all have our own human weaknesses.

but like i always wonder...
if we Christians can believe that there is a Christ, Jesus, who lived some 2000 years ago,
and we believe so firmly in this religion and that he does exist,
pray to him, love him, thank him, believe in him, trust in him and can have faith in him,
someone so intangible, someone we cant see, touch, feel or be with physically;
then how can we not love living and moving pple ard us?

isnt life jus so ironic?
life i feel is jus 1 big fat lie.
what shud be a person's main aim or purpose in life?
do wad makes him/her happy? or do things to make others happy?
how does anyone be so selfless whn half the pple i noe r all so selfish?
but i guess that's the real world.

why r pple so caught up in their own lives such tt they r completely oblivious to wadever else that goes on right b4 their eyes?
i duno man.
but i guess some pple r jus made tt way.
so the question is, do we jus accept that pple r jus like tt? or is there another way to it?

everyday, every single one of us has different roles to play.
whn i'm in sch, a student;
at hm wif parents, a daughter;
wif my sis, a sister;
wif frens, a gd listener/friend;
at project meetings, a team player;
so pls tell me who in this world doesnt face stress?
who in this world doesnt have difficulties, trials and tribulations?

no one is perfect.
but shudnt we all jus try and accomodate each other? - we live only once.
this way the world will be so much more peaceful!
realistically speaking, one person cant change the whole world, but wif some effort, he can touch the lives of those ard him/her.

i wish all peace.
