Sepi

Ada perkara dalam kehidupan ini yang sukar untuk diceritakan; lebih-lebih lagi yang berkaitan dengan hati dan perasaan.

Pandangan orang terhadap diri kita berdasarkan penglihatan mereka pada kita. Itu pun yang kelihatan di mata mereka sahaja. Oleh yang demikian, kita secara dasarnya tidak punya sebarang hak untuk mempertikaikan pandangan mereka yang datang dari mata and fikiran mereka.
***********
Aku bukanlah manusia luar biasa yang punyai kuasa.

Sepi.
Aku bukan sunyi;
Tapi hati ini terasa kosong.

Bila pandangan lihat ke langit,
Tiada biru, tiada lapang;
Cuma kosong, tiada pengisian.

Bila ku pandang jiwa dalamku,
Tiada tawa, tiada gembira,
Cuma kosong, tiada pengisian.

Apa rasanya bila jiwa disentuh,
Hati dipeluk, pandangan dipukau,
Tubuh diusap.

Syahdu.
Bila tiada suara berbisik,
Bila tiada mata memandang.

Rindu,
Bila tawa tidak bersahut,
Bila air mata tidak disapu.

Hati ini sepi.

Things that I will never know, ever...

Since I was small,

I never knew how to make jokes; though I like the idea of making people laughs;
I never knew how to look cheerful; though I like the idea of seeing people smile;
I never knew how to sound soft-spoken; though I like the idea of being ladylike;
I never knew how to stop sharing; though I like the idea of keeping things to myself;
I never knew how to not be serious; though I like the idea of being relax;
I never knew how to not be practical; though I like the idea of there are things that are meant to be left unexplained.

Now that I am all grown up, 
I definitely know one thing.
That for all above that I could never know, I can always find them;
In people whom I got the chance to know.

Because no one person can have everything to oneself.

True Happiness

Beautiful Tibetan proverbs worth sharing about True Happiness

True happiness; 
Isn’t the outer healthy body
But the inner serene mind.

It is happier to be blessed
With purity of body, speech and mind
Than to be owner of all material property. 

Without climbing the cliff of adversity
One cannot arrive at the meadow of happiness
To travel afar one has to start from the nearest point. 

What destiny has decreed
One can’t turn away
The lines upon the forehead 
Through wiped will stay 

Without a tent pole there is no tent
Without society there is no achievement 
A single thread doesn’t make a cloth 
A single tree does not make a forest 

Alas! I am unable to walk like the noble lady
And at the same time 
I have lost my own style of walking 

There are no failure.
There are only results. 
It is our judgement that makes them appear as failures or successes. 

One sleepless night makes 10 tiring days.
