Concealed Sentiments

Two weeks ago, I happened to be with the "golden ladies". They were called golden ladies because they're already in their golden age: 50-something. I thought I'll feel awkward because of the age gap but in the end I was wrong. When women at my age had some chit-chats probably it would be about friends, food, fashion, work or even boys (men). On the other hand, these golden ladies were very concerned with their children, grandchildren, and their in-laws (especially). They had some outbursts on how they don't like their in-laws and on how pitiful their children for having the wrong choice of husband/wife. That's when I remembered a poem during my gradeschool. This poem was written by Jose La Villa Tierra. It speaks on the love of parents for their children, how forgiving and how great the love of a mother is for her son/daughter although he/she has hurt her very much.

People are unreasonable, illogical, self-centered. Love them ANYWAY. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Do good ANYWAY If you are successful, youll win false friends and make true enemies. Succeed ANYWAY. Honesty and kindness may make you vulnerable. Be honest and kind ANYWAY. The good you do today may very well be forgotten tomorrow. Do good ANYWAY. The biggest people with the biggest ideas can get shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds. But think big ANYWAY. Give the world the best you got. you may very well get kicked in the teeth for it. But give the world the best you got ANYWAY. ...Kent Keith * A very nice thought posted by a friend in friendster's bulletin. I was enlightened by this post. In everything I do, I always think of what would people say and feel about me. Now, I have second thoughts about that. Who the hell cares? This is my life anyway!
