counter-yaks
why is it that we need others to constantly remind us what's most important?
it's because they care about our well being and our happiness.
they want us to treasure what we have now, especially people who loves us.
they constantly remind us not to take people and things alike, for granted.
love is something so intangible yet fragile that we cannot take it for granted.
there same goes for trust between people.
why can't i appreciate Joshua more, rather than alwiz have something unhappy to mutter about him?
it's amazing how i could easily proclaim my appreciation for Michele and Elaine.
but when it comes to Joshua, i always have something unhappy to mutter about.
often, i am scolding him, making sarcastic remarks, pushing him away...
it's only in retrospect then i would appreciate him running in the rain to get boxed lunch for me,
buying Hello Kitty early in the morning to cheer me up, or letting me sleep in when i am tired....
all these small gestures of love are not to be overlooked nor ignored!
i cannot expect high standards out of someone else when i cannot even meet up to that measure myself!
Listening says "i value your opinion, i care about our relationship and you matter to me."
the Bible says "a gentle response defuses anger, but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire."
in any relationship or interaction, how we say it is as important as what we say.
