Lake Parz (Clear) in Armenia: Hidden gem

One of the things I love about my life are the weekend travels. While at first just a mere adventure, they have now turned to a kind tradition which we try to always keep. Being a small country Armenia has much to offer for those who are willing to explore it.

On the road we thought of going to Haghartsin Monastery, the beauty of which is beyond description, but as we drove closer to the monastery we decided to go to a place where we had not been — to Parz Lich translated into English as Lake Clear.

A Mere Glance at our Most Beautiful, Yet Exhausted Planet

In today’s world where everything is being taken for granted people have started not only to overuse the resources of our planet but also to abuse it at most. Seems like those resources are endless and will never come to their reasonable end, while it’s not so. Just like everything has its beginning, everything has its end as well. And in today’s time we have already appeared in a situation in which every single thing seems to be on the edge of getting expired and all that because of our own mistakes, of which we are aware but about which we don’t do anything at all.

Switch the TV and you’ll find every channel talking about endangered plants and animals, extinction of species, shortage of fresh water, waste dumping destructive issues and excessive exploitation of environmental resources. I wonder what’s the point of talking about all this when nothing changes? Nothing changes because everything is all talk and no work.

Wake up Girl!!!

There are many reasons that can stand as an undeniable proof that God is a real genius. My proof is you. I know you think I am going crazy but it’s not so. Look into the mirror girl. When was it that you developed a low self esteem? What makes you think you are worse than any other girl walking beside you or under your balcony?

Look into the mirror. You see those beautiful eyes? Don’t go deep into the color, the colors don’t matter much here. Pay more attention to that beautiful shape of your eyes and their deepness, a whole book can be read in them. You just need to raise them when people look at you, otherwise they’ll remain unnoticed.
