The Sacrifice of Angels.

The birth of a younger sister. The onset of a new intimate relationship. These are moments which should be cherished and remembered for as long as you live. Moving moments like these don't happen everyday; but for each and every single day that you remember and appreciate them you make them last just that little bit longer.

There was a saying that went, "Fortune favours the Bold,". It was Machiavellian, and I believe to some extent..that there is some truth to it. Fortune doesn't come knocking all the time, but when it does you should be prepared. Luck is opportunity meeting steadfast preparation(s). Embrace your good fortune and when possible spread some of it around. Good things do come back to you even if it does take a while.

The hardest part about being happy is that you have to remember how bad it felt when you were sad. Only then will be able to find a median of modesty, a bridge between the eclectic and the macabre. There are days when Fortuna (as Machievelli calls her) is constantly by your side and try as you may, everything seems to work out for the better. There are also days when Fortuna takes a vacation, and leaves you all by your lonesome to fend for yourself; a test of your bravery against the tides of uncertainty.

It is in these moments of time; the sacrifice of angels as they called it once, that a man truly finds himself. To be able to look into the abyss only to find that it is his own soul staring back at him. We have all gone through these disturbing moments at least once, in our lives. Remember that no matter how bad your days seem at any point in time, the solitary white cloud isn't far behind.

As our esteemed writers have said in their previous posts, it is truly a magnificent event to witness the birth of a child and the birth of a new and wondrous relationship. It is a moment of pure bliss when you realise that in just a short moment, you have gone through an epiphany; a series of events which before meant nothing to you..suddenly reveals itself in great clarity.
Some call it "Maktub". Others just call it "Luck".

Enjoy your stint at happiness; and I think I speak for all of us here at "M.A.H" when I say,

"Don't forget to spread the cheer!"
