The good, the bad and.. You



In the journey of life


we meet people


good people


and bad people


Good people leave good memories and maybe some bad memories



Bad people leave bad memories and maybe some good memories



Those memories whether good or bad shape our past and sometimes form our future



Good people and memories are part of life



Just as bad people do



We don't have control over neither the good nor the bad



We didn't make the good good and the bad bad



They just happened to be in our way



and both good and bad had an effect on us and our lives



From good people we learned alot of good lessons and they left good impressions



Bad people taught us plenty of evil and wicked things we also needed to know



So, both the good and bad taught us important lessons



But we love the good and hate the bad



which is natural ofcourse



But remember we learned from the bad as much as we learned from the good



So both are in a way are important in shaping who we are



Now this is not a philosophy lesson



and I'm certainly not a philosopher - not even close



I just happened to be a peculiar woman who have passion for such subjects



My question is



Do we realize the importance of the bad people/incidents we come across



Do we appreciate the bad things as much as we appreciate the good things



Because the lessons we learned from the bad are far more valuable than those learned from the good.. Why? Because it hurts



Hurts badly



and later in life these memories soar and that reminds us of the incident



they soar to remind us



and we surely remember



but till when? Forever



We face a cross-road here



either make them soar forever and keep mourning over them



or appreciate the lesson and move on



Appreciation is a bliss



Appreciate the occurance of bad



cause without it we wouldn't have appreciated the good



The point is



Because I came across all those bad people
I recognize you as good
and because of all the good people I know who make me feel
in various ways incomplete
incomplete
incomplete incomplete incomplete incomplete
incomplete
incomplete
incomplete
incomplete
incomplete
incomplete
incomplete
incomplete
incomeplete
Now I know I will search no more
No one and nothing will make me feel complete
except when we're together
when I am myself
and I say all I want
and I do all I want
not worrying I will be judged or mis-judged
not fearing the consequences
not worrying about anything else
fear-less
and at peace
Because of you I thank all the bad people who taught me to appreciate you
Because of you I thank all the good people who made me incomplete
Because of you the bad memories soar no more
Because of you the good memories are vague
Because of you I am shaping a new me
Because of you past is history
Becasue of you the future is
bright
Thank you
for being in my life
Thank you
for bringin the best in me
Thank you
for making me realize who I am
and what I can be
Thank you
for who you are

Dear Talal, why this pessimistic view of good times? This feeling could last forever if it is well preserved. Thank you for your visit
