5 Gorgeous Valentine’s Hearts

Love is like playing the piano. First you must learn to play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play from your heart.
From the laughter of a child to the tears of a grown man
There’s a thread that runs right through us all and helps us understand
As subtle as a breeze – that fans a flicker to a flame
From the very first sweet melody to the very last refrain…

The Perfect Life
Does anyone have a perfect life? What is perfection? What is lifeā¦?
Well if you ask me, then yes, I would say that there are people who have perfect lives. And not because they live in a continuous happiness, or because they were born rich and healthy and are popular.
Most of us think of happiness in terms of needs: the need for food, for shelter, for a partner to share the biological needs with, for support, social life, fame ā on a smaller or on a larger scale, and some self esteem. Doesnāt that sound like a perfect lifeā¦ to have all those? Is there anything one could ask more for? Sure, we would add: love, kindness, friendships, inner peaceā¦ And still, is that all we need to be happy? No, this is perfectionā¦
What is life? Stupid question, ones might say. Well life is a fact. Thatās it, you wake up one morning and your brain is developed enough to acknowledge that you are alive. And when that moment comes, you start worrying, youāre not a baby or a child anymore, to let others take care of your life and guide you; and thatās how real life starts, you feel responsible for whatās happening to your body, for how others feel about you, for your grades in school, for the deadlines at your job and for what your parents and friends might say if you stop following the unwritten guidelines of this journey. Day by day, you feel life.
Now letās see. A perfect life is a life without worries. But there isnāt such a thing, is it? To have a perfect life would mean that you were not actually acknowledging the fact that you are living, youād act like a plant: here comes the sun, letās produce some chlorophyll so we can āeatā, wait for the rain, and get numb when the sun goes down.
But I was so convinced that there is a perfect life! So how should it be then? Iām thinking of ābeing satisfied with what you have would make you happy and live a perfect lifeā, but thatās just silly, as so many people are homeless and starve to death around the world. On the other hand, thinking that āyou should always aim for more, never rest from chasing your dreams, so you can reach happiness and self satisfaction, never ever give upā might lead to a happy life in terms of being a strong ambitious person. But thatās also wrong, because people tend to have crazy aspirations, convinced that those would make them have a perfect life and they end up at that point where they can only see the past and the present, being so old and tired that the future means nothing to them, they live from memories and get to think āhow I wasted my life, how stupid was I!ā
About two years ago I went to a zoo and I was cheerful to see more than my natural environment could provide. The attraction of the season was a baby gorilla, recently captured and put in its new āhomeā. It lived in a huge cage, with plenty of food and water and green stuff, obviously put there to make it believe it was in its ādream houseā. But it looked so depressedā¦ tourists would try to take pictures and poke the glass to draw its attention, but the big brown eyes were wet and sadā¦ So I thought that nothing would ever make that poor soul enjoy life again, thatās not perfect at all for itā¦
This year I got the chance of visiting again that zoo. On the way out, I remembered the baby gorilla I was telling you about and with a bit of nervousness I went checking what has happened to it. I was surprised to see a huge black creature, jumping around and literally making faces at the cheerful crowd. It couldnāt have been itā¦ So I had to ask. It was that baby gorilla.
So I got to think about itā¦ How come it was happy? Is adaptation what it takes to get a happy life? Well the only conclusion I got was that you donāt need to hold on insanely to things in the pastā¦ Sure, sometimes it is very hard. Letting go of your dreams might be close to impossible, but it is worth it, to hang on and stay sad? So Iām figuring that a perfect happy life is achieved when one is strong enough to accept reality, but also keep faith and follow the dreams which come close to what they have always wantedā¦ I think that perfect life results from harmony.

Otter and Kathy – A Story of Love and Forgiveness
“There are truly angels living among us and I met one recently while on a walk in my neighborhood. Kathy was walking her 3 dogs, one of which was physically disabled and needed a special chair to get around. She explained that “Otter” had been abused as a puppy and his hind legs were paralyzed. She is truly an angel and the love she shares with Otter is so pure and unending. This is a story of dedication, forgiveness and true unconditional love. ”
