Your sweet blood – red and fertile,
containing priceless sacred values.
It flows as a symbol of life,
giving strength and opportunity
to every moment we enjoy.
Its precious presence teaches us about eternity
– about how every drop brings meaning,
and responsibility to us,
as human beings.
Take good care of yourself.
Your sweet blood –
like a stream of honey flowing through your veins,
brings with it
a charming warmth and tenderness.
In your blood,
are hidden heritages and life stories
that reminds us of
perserverance,
sacrifice,
and true values that deserves to be appreciated.
Take good care of vourself.
When danger comes unannounced,
we are called –
to understand that life always holds unexpected tests.
Like waves that arrivewithout asking for permission,
danger reminds us not to take safety and security for granted.
They require us
to always be prepared and adapt
in the face of
life’s challenges.
Were there signs or clues
that life had given you
before the unfortunate happened
that might have alerted you
to be more careful?
Take good care of yourself!
A fine needle pierces the heart,
like a silent thump that creates,
unconscious pain.
It is not just a birth wound,
but deeper,
seeping into feelings
that are often hidden.
Like a shadow that follows every step,
the delicate needle teaches us about the pain,
that the naked eye
cannot always see.
Every deception is a seed of uncertainty
-creating an irreparable rift in human relationships.
The consequences of cheating with tricks are not only harmful to others,
but also harmful to yourself.
Does the satisfaction gained from cheating provide a feeling of victory or dominance?
Does the momentary satisfaction gained from cheating compare to the long-term feeling of emptiness and regret that may arise when the lie is revealed?
Certainly, the truth always shines in the end.
Like a heart scratched by lingering time.
Although washed with rose water, the former still haunts.
There is no eternity
in the perfection of the word
because time
has left an eternal mark.
Soft, fragrant and holy rose water
– however, could not heal the deepest wounds.
Because there is an unshakeable life, still dark,
amidst the rays of coloured flowers.
A tiger cannot change its stripes,
just as a person cannot change his true nature.
Like the wind that whispers in the still night,
old habits surround a restless soul.
Maybe one day, the time will come,
when old habits fade and creep away.
However, until now,
it remains faithfully waiting.
Picking flint from the bed of the river;
radiating a burning warmth,
like a fire trapped in its solidity.
Being an individual who poisons the relationship between the two parties,
is like sowing seeds of discord creating a storm of confusion and conflict between them.
One may achieve momentary gratification by distorting facts or inflaming emotions.
Getting satisfaction from revenge
often masks the feeling of disappointment
and injustice
– as if to erase the hurt.
However, such satisfaction is a fragile illusion,
leaving traces of bitterness
and showing that true salvation
comes from forgiveness and acceptance.
Although the experience of satisfaction may appear when it succeeds
in causing a fight between certain parties,
that happiness is only temporary.
