The Useless Stairs

Uploaded: December 23, 2006 12:40:15

Description

It's so painful when We can see the stairs(step) of headway but we can never go up :(and how it's more painful
when someone shows us the stairs which we can never use them:'(, we can just watch them.
I think it's a good idea to rule people as easy as we thought.
If you have idea, plZzzZzzz tell me about it.

I understand the way you feel but I have no answers for you. We must have hope that one day we can use those stairs. That change will come and we all can use them. I think hope is a very power tool and if we all hold on to that hope that together we can force the change to come.
I love the shadows and the message you put to them. Excellent vision my friend. Always remember you have a friend that has that hope. #576598

Life is to be lived and not understood, I found that years ago after much anguish #3734473

Over the years I have learned the same lesson that Manuel has.
Also, wishing does not get us anywhere..action does.
Morteza, you have asked questions and have illustrated these questions very well with this image.
Best wishes for a great holiday season and a happy New Year for you and yours. #3734568

Morteza, I agree with above comments. Life..it's still a mystery to me. BTW, excellent graphic abstract capture here. #3734702

Hi Bill,Manuel, Melissa, Susan.
Thank you very much I'm so happy 'cos i'have fanntastic friends.
this is my favorite story.

"The four candles burn slowly.

The ambience was so soft you could hear them talking.

...And that each of us can maintain
Hope,Faith,Peace and Love !!!!

The first one said:
I AM PEACE!
However,nobody can keep me lit.
I believe I will go out.
It's flame rapidly diminishes and goes out completely

The second one says:
I'm FAITH!
Most of all,I'm no longer indispensable,
It does not make any sense.That I stay lit any longer.
When it finished talking,a breeze softly blew on it putting it out.

Sadly,the third candle spoke in its turn:
I'm LOVE!
I have not got the strength to stay lit.
people put me aside and don't understand my importance.
They even forget to love those who are nearest to them.
And waiting no longer it goes out.


Suddenly ...
A child enters the room and sees there candles
not burning.
'Why are you not burning?you are supposed to stay
lit till the end.
Saying this , the child begins to cry.


Than the fourth candle said:
Don't be afraid,while I'm steal burning
we can religth the other candles,
I'm hope!


With shining eyes,the child took the candle of hope
and lit the other candles.

"I WISH THE FLAME OF HOPE WOULD NEVER GO OUT FROM OUR LIFE"


Have a great holidays
