Very well said, Sue. I agree with life is satisfying once we stop focusing on other's happiness and instead of focusing on ourselves. It was a difficult lesson but one that changed my life.

Yeah, there's " No Mr Wizard to fix it!".
Excellent truths on the reality of life. Well written on life truths. I can also relate 😺!

Agreed. Letting go is the hardest. Second hardest: It ain't fair, and it's not going to be.

Amazing post.

"Life goes on, long after the joy of living is gone" from Mellencamp's "Jack and Diane".

Yes, I've endured.

And yes, I've run away to survive.

Life goes on.

Hardest lesson? Letting go.

In response to "The ten percent"

Oh Wow! I wasn't expecting you to put God as our business partner at the end. I was too busy getting mad at the man in the story who kept the 100%.
Great story plot, btw. You certainly zeroed in on the man's ingratitude effectively. I guess, we all experience a bit of that ingratitude at one time or another in our lives. A big Ooops!

I agree the lack of love for ourselves keeps us from being the best we can be.

So true! You are very courageous to walk away from someone that would probably not be of much help to you in your life.

Sounds like it's a great place to explore the sites and to try new food. Thanks for sharing.

3 Poets

*Ghalib (1797 -1869)*
*Iqbal (1877-1938)*
*and Faraz (1931-2008)*

Their views on the universality of God in these famous couplets . It was not a feud. At best, you can call it a poetic difference of opinion among witty intellectuals spread across centuries.

*Ghalib started it in the 19th century*

“Zahid, sharaab peene de masjid mein baith kar
Ya wo jagah bataa, jahaan Khuda nahin”

Translation:
Let me drink in a mosque; or tell me the place where there is no God.'

Allama Iqbal was not convinced. He decided to reply about half a century later, his poetic reply to Ghalib.

“Masjid Khuda ka ghar hai, peene ki jagah nahin
Kaafir ke dil mein jaa, wahaan khuda nahin”

Translation:
Mosque is the abode of God, not a place to drink. Go to the heart of a non-believer because there God is not.

*Faraz had the last word. (Later half of 19th century)*

“Kaafir ke dil se aaya hun, main ye dekh kar Faraz,
Khuda maujood hai wahaan, par usey pata nahin”

Translation:
I have returned from the heart of the disbeliever and I have observed that God is present in his heart too, but he just doesn't know it.
