life is simple; why make it complicated?

Love and Hate? God and Saturn? Heaven and Hell? What is the difference? How do you think they came about?

Love and Hate - I personally have seen many things in Life. What is Love; what is Hate? The answer is so simple until people have seen to have either forgotten the true essence or have misinterpret it. If someone is going to ask me the same question, my answer is also very simple. "The difference between Love and Hate is only a thin line. By rights, there should be no difference. How you differentiate between Love and Hate is based on your feelings as time of description." The same goes for the difference between God and Saturn; Heaven and Hell.

Without Love, how can there be hate? Hate usually follows if Love fails and/or there is a change of heart. Isn't that true? Alternatively, it is also possible that too much Love (over-loving) results in hate? This occurs when you want the best for that person and things never happen to go your way; you end up blaming that person whom you wanted to best for. It's a sad thing, really, that many people do not know when to pick up and let go, forgive and forget. If only, one knows when to channel his thoughts and feelings to the right path at an appropriate time, this should not have happened. For myself, I have experienced what was described above and this is also the reason why I tend to take things in my own stride now a days, leading a care-free life; other than academic examinations! =(

God and Saturn; Heaven and Hell? God = Heaven, Saturn = Hell? No, that is not true. How and What factors do you determine who's who. The answer lies in your heart, your mind. If you want to be God and go to Heaven, you do it with your own capabilities and doing good deeds (with knowledge) may help you achieve your goal. If you want to be Saturn and go to Hell (I don't think anyone would welcome that), it is also within your own reach. How do you do good and meaningful deeds? Does that mean you sympathize with everything a person who is going downhill does, and allow him to do everything he wants? No.

To help people, you will have to help with knowledge. Citing an example, take the most common problems nowadays - Academic and Relationships. Person A has a group of good friends. They go out together almost every time and do things together, from personal affairs to academic matters. Person A's grades are going downhill drastically and would be on the verge of retaining in no time. A's group of friends are also worrying for her and wished to help her get back on track. However, it is A's attitude towards things that make it so hard for people to help A. Yes, at this juncture, it is comforting to know that A's friends are willing to lend a helping hand to A. But, does A appreciate it? Look on the other perspective and between the lines. Based on the modular academic system, group projects, exams and assesments are computated to derive the results. A could not seek help from peers during individual exams and assessments. But during projects, A does not help in anything and do the barest minimal too. A's peers would then be doing everything for her. Now, you tell me, is that helping her pass? Even if it was, is it the correct methodology?

Frankly, my answer is NO. What A's peers are doing, are only condoning her attitude and taking advantage of the situation. However, by reverse psychology, A's peers should make their stand firm that if A does not contribute, it shall be reported as the whole truth. This would make A realise that if one does not help him/herself, no one else can. What is the use of complaining that A is not contributing, and at the same time, covering A's duties? Now, you tell me, will it be doing A good? Does that make you God and go to Heaven? Is that a Love for a friend or only generating a hatred? As the saying goes, "You can teach a man how to fish; you cannot fish for a man. Even if you fish for a man, will it be indefinite?". Think, ponder, reflect... ...
