Once a Saint came across with Satan (Devil) and argued with him, “why you do all the bad deeds and cause violence amongst the mankind?”   “Me! No sir,” replied the Satan politely,  “I never do any such thing, I just have got the bad name for all the bad deeds happening in the world.  They are not caused by me.”

 “No, it’s you who is responsible of all the sins the mankind commit!” Retorted the Saint!

I swear by the quiet silence of your paper house, I know your dreams are as beautiful as my fancies believable.

You've got the mystic believe of love from my silence. I've got the final point of belief from your silence.

Don’t go for looks; they can deceive
Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away
Go for someone who makes you smile
Because it takes only a smile to
Make a dark day seem bright
Find the one that makes your heart smile

Dream what you want to dream
Go where you want to go
Be what you want to be

And everyone around you was smiling
Live your life so at the end
You are the one who is smiling and everyone
Around you is crying

like the roots of tropical trees,

you cannot separate them without severely damaging them.

Unfortunately, you can't know anything for sure until you drop yourself in this life,

making right and wrong choices and test everything.

We each have to do this, but destiny makes the difference between my life and yours.

Man does not attain all his heart's desires for the

I do not know how to begin this. It is a story about a fifty five year old man falling in love with a woman who is twenty years younger than him. First, I am wondering if that is possible or not! However, the experience is somehow strange and a bit complicated. It started on the internet. The internet and what will make you know the internet! They say it is a double edged weapon. It can cut both ways. Of course, you know what I am trying to say.

They were a teacher and a student. Suddenly it beca

When I was a child our house was near a big park. There were tall trees in the park and I could see them easily, most of the time I went to the park and play with my friends. One day, I saw two birds that I don’t know what were called. They were like Dove but a little smaller. They made a nest on top of the tree near our house. I watched them every day and I enjoyed.
