30 DAYS OF DEEP AND RANDOM QUESTIONS (a series)

 DAY 16:

"What's the most hurtful thing someone has ever said to you?"

I grew up in a family, wherein insult was never a dish served in the tab. It excisted but kept at the back pocket, and saved for special occasions. And I have been insulted by people quiet to many, but those words just passed through the other ear and never left any mark. I have even forgotten most of those insults and the person who blurted it out, may it be out of anger or frustration.

But the most hurtful thing that was thrown at my face made me relieve all the pain I felt back then, to be told insignificant and that all my hard work is at face value. That maybe I was never smart, and that is the reason I failed to become what I wanted to be as an engineer. I was too dumb to become an engineer. And that insult was wrapped in ball of bad language and painful lashes of the tongue.

Worth the Risk I just want you to know- In the quiet spaces of my heart, A wish begins to grow: To pursue you, to make a start.

Win or lose, I won’t regret The love I choose to share. What matters most to me Is not the end, but this- That you feel, undeniably, How precious you truly is. So let me show you every day How lovable you are, How much you mean in every way- My guiding, shining star.

Hávamál: Wisdom of Odin the High One (a copy)

  Hávamál The Words of Odin the High One from the Elder or Poetic Edda (Sæmund's Edda) Wisdom for Wanderers and Counsel to Guests 1. At every door-way, ere one enters, one should spy round, one should pry round for uncertain is the witting that there be no foeman sitting, within, before one on the floor 2. Hail, ye Givers! a guest is come; say! where shall he sit within? Much pressed is he who fain on the hearth would seek for warmth and weal. 3. He hath need of fire, who now is come, numbed with cold to the knee; food and clothing the wanderer craves who has fared o'er the rimy fell. 4. He craves for water, who comes for refreshment, drying and friendly bidding, marks of good will, fair fame if 'tis won, and welcome once and again. 5. He hath need of his wits who wanders wide, aught simple will serve at home; but a gazing-stock is the fool who sits mid the wise, and nothing knows. 6.
