When it Matters most

Why is it that people wait for someone to be gone before they offer kind words? By then it would have been too late, and these would just have fallen on deaf ears. By then, it would be meaningless, and it would be just that – empty words. Oftentimes, our filial bond is tested time and again. Most often, it could just be something inconsequential and trivial. It is during those times that our character is truly tested, our inner personality revealed. Some lesser bonds disintegrate and the people become strangers. Still some, take that opportunity to become stronger, and strengthen their bonds even more, like diamonds being forged amidst the heat of the earth. It would be a good time to re-examine our relationships and which among the two it is progressing into. One thing is for sure though. As long as we are still breathing, we have the opportunity to make it right.

 What matters most is that you still get to show it to a living, breathing person. He may not return the same feeling of love and affection, but certainly, you are the better person for just taking the risk to reach out, and putting your feelings out there. Sure it would spare you from the possible feeling of hurt and rejection when you don’t take the risk, but when everything’s said and done, it will come down to that one moment. We have but one lifetime.  Surely the world could use more of that love .
