Life as we live

There's one sad truth in life i've found

While journeying east to west..

The only folks we really wound

Are those.. we love the best.

We flatter those we scarcely know,

We please the fleeting guest
And deal full many a thoughtless blow

To those who love us best..

~Ella Wilcox Wheeler

I don't know why but when after ages I was going through my blog this is one post I liked the most.So i have just copied my old post and posted it again.
These beautiful lines sent to me by a friend made me think is this the life we live and are we really doing this or it's a figment of imagination of a poet ...but then is it just an imagination or the fact of life....ask yourself...and you will get an answer ...an answer that might remind of all the thoughtless acts we commit coz the people who love us are always taken for granted.I am not trying to sound sad or regretful..i am not but shouldn't the peolple who love us be treated in the most caring way....but then will we be human...we are never satisfied by what we have ...and time goes...and something like this poem comes along your way and makes you think...but then this is life and this is us.... :-)
