To Hope (musings on life)

by Katherine - Aquarius

I believe that the point of life is to survive
 with as little scars as possible.
To forget the scars you have and to feel and love the beauty around you.
To come at peace with yourself.
To forgive yourself and others.
To love all the wonderful things in spite of the horrors.
To realize that the horrors are there
 and that they make the good things seem even better.
To love and care for as many people as possible with true love.
And to see how much you cared for your loved ones after they pass away
 by becoming so overwhelmed in emotions that your love for them
  overflows out your eyes because love cannot see.
Love is to and for everyone, no one is excluded, so see it and 
 do not deny yourself of it.
To know your faults and accept and like yourself for who you are,
 only then may you change for the better.
To accept the faults of others and help them accept themselves,
 and to love them for who they are.
To let all pain and hate and anger inspire you to break through
 to a higher enlightenment and higher love of everything.
To help those who need it so they can do the same.
To use your greatest talent to make others happy,
 to inspire them.
To accept the world.
To love it.
To know that all things that happen are for a reason,
 testing you,
  so that you may succeed.
Though we may fail miserably on some,
 we may exceed greatly on others.
To scream, to cry, to listen, to die.
To live, to ache with unbearable pain,
 to believe you may reach happiness.
To have hope.

Reason for writing:

    Life was my inspiration. I know these thoughts aren't all true, or perfect, but I thought them and wanted to share it.
