“As to marriage or celibacy, let a man take which course he will, he will be sure to repent (Socrates).” In my case — it’s the second, in case of most of my friends — it’s the first, although they have found such good and caring better-halves that I doubt they will ever regret being “chained” by marriage.

Vision for future or absence of it

I remember around a year ago we had a meeting with one of richest Armenians in the world. A short talk with him was enough to understand that this person has not only focused on making money but also on retaining and improving his human aspect.

Without any wish to cite his ideas that reflect pure wisdom, there is one thing that has stuck on my mind. He said that in our life we should focus on the long-term goals which might as well include short-term ones. What he recommended was having a clear idea of where we want to see us 15 years down the road Continue reading

Love letters

It was Valentine today and although as far as I remember me, I have celebrated this holiday only once in my life and presently, it is at bay from me and has nothing to do with me, I love seeing people happy, loving, caring and bouncing.

The picture created by the couples in the streets is so great. As they say, you are never old to love, so by couples I never try to imply only the young. There is something magical in seeing elderly people walking hand in hand with a rose and smiles.

Love is beautiful and it’s even more beautiful when it’s expressed in letters. Let’s see what feelings the love letters and poems of famous people convey. Continue reading

Quit relationships in which…

If you are reading this, then you must have some good cause for it and if the cause is that the content of this post refers to you too, then I am very sorry for your bitter experience and let me give you a hug for a better future once you give up on a certain person a.k.a. your love.

Being in a stormy relationship and still choosing to remain by his side, I did not spare me, including my life. One day one of his friends asked me “when are you going to marry?” I said “we are not going,” she said “why?” I said because he is not mature enough to know what a family is and what it is to be a man, a husband and a father.

That white hair…

People like me do not spend their time in front of mirrors waiting for the mirror to announce the final verdict “you are beautiful now.” I strongly believe that every person is beautiful and the time spent in front of a mirror detecting our flaws and acne is just a time wasted. It would be so much the better if people spent that time detecting and correcting their inner flaws, flaws which might make them the ugliest even if they have the most attractive countenance…

However, yesterday just before taking a shower I looked at myself in the mirror, and when I was about to turn I saw it — I saw that completely white hair, the “caña” as the Spanish would call, and it Continue reading

Ronald Reagan — To me, he is one of the people whose life is so much inspiring and whose love breathes so much hope in the worn out inches of one’s heart, that it gives hope there still exists true love — love that respects, cares, trusts and all that it wants is to see and make you happy.

Love that will not lie in your eyes, that will not cheat on you, will never ignore you, or make you feel subordinate,,, love that will never drag you from hair or try to pull you down, love that will never spit in your face in the direct meaning of this word, Continue reading

Pieces of two different puzzles….

In this life you always have to join at least two things to get a result. If those things do not merge and mix together then there is either no result or not the result you were expecting. Not in vain people say that spaces between fingers were created to be filled. Everything in this interrelated world is set on this basis. Continue reading

Being with someone and not being sure about his faithfulness is one of the worst things in the world. It’s hard to live when doubts bite every piece of you at every second of your living. Continue reading

When you’re once being beaten by love, you always think you’ll never be able to recover from that. You think so until the moment someone appears and makes you believe that your heart hasn’t died yet, that it can still spread its wings and fly high above everything. This is a great feeling. And that’s how you can describe it, a feeling, but how it actually feels Continue reading
