ANYWAY... by Mother Teresa

I have always liked something simple and nice and 'straight-to-the-point'

If we do not know what real LOVE is...
what simplicity and true heart means... this is a passage that will always guide us

But of course it only touches the hearts which want to be touched,
and gets into ears that want to listen.

When simple words like this seems to be so far away from us,
We are also too far away from where we really want to get to, and what we really want to be.

There is a different between being wise, and being intelligent,
Wise people are generally happier, simpler, and kinder,
Intelligent people... well... the whole world is built by intelligent people, thanks to that.
That is why, the whole world is in such trouble, and more than half of the population is miserable.
Because we make the world as we wanted it, we see the world as we wanted to see,
That is because we are all intelligent miserable individuals.

ANYWAY
~~~~~~~
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, It is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
