Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man … living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money. – George Carlin

You’re basically killing each other to see who’s got the better imaginary friend. -Blaise Pascal

Resilience

---

Resilience blooms,

not in grand gestures, but in the quiet persistence of daily growth.

It knows that scars are not signs of weakness but badges of survival.

And so, it thrives, not despite the challenges, but because of them.

listen closely,
Rejection is not the end, but a beginning.
It is the pruning of dead branches,
the invitation to grow anew.

Breathe.

For every “no” whispered by fate,
there lies a hidden “yes” in the wind.
It may not arrive on the expected breeze,
but it will come—a wildflower in the cracks.

Persist.

Your stem may bend, but it will not break.
Each scar becomes a testament to resilience.

Bloom.

Embrace rejection as a companion,
a teacher in disguise.
For it is through adversity
that we discover our true strength.

You are not defined by the doors that close,
but by the courage to knock on new ones.

The Optimist

In the heart of the night, when shadows loom large,
And the whispers of doubt, their grim charge,
There stands a soul, with a lantern held high,
A beacon of hope, in the darkling sky.
With eyes that gleam, like the first morning’s light,
And a smile that warms the coldest of nights,
The Optimist walks, where despair may tread,
Planting seeds of dreams, where fears once spread.
For every tear that the world may weep,
There’s a promise to keep, and a hill less steep.
The Optimist knows, each challenge faced,
Is but a chance, for joy embraced.
So let the cynics, their chorus sing,
Of all that’s wrong, and the pain it brings.
The Optimist sees, in every fall,
A lesson learned, and a rise for all.
In the dance of life, they lead the way,
Turning ‘what if’ doubts, to ‘maybe’ today.
For in each heartache, or twist of fate,
Lies an open door, and a path to create.
So here’s to the ones, who dare to dream,
Who see the silver lining, in a stormy scene.
May we all find the strength, to share their view,
And paint our world, in a hopeful hue.
