The element of happiness...

There are four elements which are conducive to a man's happiness in this world. The third element is one should have good friends who are faithful, learned, virtuous, liberal and intelligent, who will help him along the right path away from evil.

On a bus ride to Keukenhof, in front of me were these two old ladies.. I found it interesting and i'll tell u why.. they looked just like the two teenagers who sat at the other side.. talking to each other, sometimes pointing outside the window, saying something in dutch, laughing.. taking care of each other, one asking another to be careful when alighting from the bus, holding hands at times.. not being a stalker, i bumped into them again inside the Keukenhof garden.. they were enjoying the indoor flower exhibition..

I was inside the bus with 2 friends, we did laugh at times.. and i was also inside the exhibition enjoying the beauty of the flowers.. what hit me was that, i did all that with 2 people i've known for less than a year (one of them, I just got to know that day).. and these two old ladies....... most probably they have been friends for.... 50 years maybe?? This kind of thing never failed to amaze me..

When our hair turns gray, when we need somebody to support us while walking, when we’re seventy.. we might need a good friend to do that together with us.. therefore, act as good one and find one while u breathe.. =)

This post happens to be another favourite of mine.. it's amazing that some ppl could maintain their frenship til the rest of their life... But finding those who can be your good companions seems to be hard.. I guess I have almost lost one...

Diahz90 said...

Yea such thing is always hard.. at the moment u think u have one, u will just lose it.. maybe we'll just have to keep looking.. =)

It's a part of life..

That is a tough one, to find a friend that last that long... not that is it impossible, more like, it is hard to determine where we will be 50 years from now. Earth? Heaven? Hell? Moon? haha... but it will certainly be nice. shall we make a promise? we will meet in Singapore at 17\18 march 2046? HAHAHA
