“Why do we always begin to think about people when they die? I think we should think about people while they're still alive! That way, they can know that we're thinking about them! I always tell people when I'm thinking about them, or that I thought about them, or that I have been thinking about them and it almost always scares them away, but so what, I am practicing the art of life and if that is frightening to them then maybe they need to start living while they're still alive!” Inspirational QuotesInspirational LifeLife And LivingLife And DeathThe Art Of Life Author:C.

“What does it mean to be cultured? Who is the cultured person? The cultured individual is not defined nor determined by status in society nor by wealth; but the cultured individual is determined and defined by his or her sense for the art of life. And what is the art of life? The art of life is the reflection of the mind and the soul upon the world, upon other people, upon the respect and understanding of other people and upon the things that are in this world and beyond. There is a joy that is always sought in beautiful things. Being cultured is being conscious, reflective, understanding, feeling, aware. Knowing how to feel, to listen, to understand. A desire to find or to create joy in many things— that is the art of life. And these things define a cultured person.” CultureClassWisdom QuotesRefinementClassy WomanThe Art Of LifeThe Art Of LivingClassy PeopleCultured PeopleRefined PeopleRefined Woman Author:C. JoyBell C.
“Departure" Everyone wants to leave Those here want to go there, and many there are eager to return here… There are those who understood that living is not possible neither here nor there, so, you see them, in vain, searching for alternatives… Few have understood that the impossibility of living is a result of complicity not geography, that most of those who stay or depart never part ways with their complicity and tendency to surrender, thus, they recreate the circumstances and the causes of departure everywhere they go… Few have understood that all places will remain unlivable so long as the causes to depart are a result of a complicit and defeated Self… [Original poem published in Arabic on June 20, 2024 at ahewar.org]” LeavingSeparationSurrenderDenialEscapeDepartureComplicityArabic PoetryArabic LiteratureThe Art Of Life Author:Louis Yako
“Again, I am surprised why people seek to eliminate lust and cling to love; as they wish to ignore happiness and cleave unto joy! Now, now, let's not sugar-coat things! Lust has a lot more to do with life and what is the good of life if you do not carry much lust inside of you at all times? And joy is a noble thing, but happiness though fleeting can be found every day and in every small little way!” InspirationalHappinessInspirational LifeLustLiving Life To The FullestLustfulLust For LifeThe Art Of LifeLust For Everything Author:C.

“Life is a bowl of cherries. Some cherries are rotten while others are good; its your job to throw out the rotten ones and forget about them while you enjoy eating the ones that are good! There are two kinds of people: those who choose to throw out the good cherries and wallow in all the rotten ones, and those who choose to throw out all the rotten ones and savor all the good ones.” LifeInspirational QuotesInspirational LifeWisdom QuotesLife And LivingInspirational AttitudePositivityPositive AttitudeLiving LifeLiving Life To The FullestThe Art Of LifeLife Is A Bowl Of CherriesTwo Kinds Of People Author:C.
