4 Boyfriends

Once upon a time, there was this girl who had four boyfriends.

She loved the 4th boyfriend the most and adored him with rich robes and treated him to the finest of delicacies. She gave him nothing but the best.

She also loved the 3rd boyfriend very much and was always showing him off to neighboring kingdoms. However, she feared that one day he would leave her for another.

She also loved her 2nd boyfriend. He was her confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with her. Whenever this girl faced a problem, she could confide in him, and he would help her get through the difficult times.

The girls 1st boyfriend was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining her wealth and kingdom. However, she did not love the first boyfriend. Although he loved her deeply, she hardly took notice of him.

One day, the girl fell ill and she knew her time was short. She thought of her luxurious life and wondered, I now have four boyfriends with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone.'

Thus, she asked the 4th boyfriend, I loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?'

'No way!', replied the 4th boyfriend, and he walked away without another word.

His answer cut like a sharp knife right into her heart.

The sad girl then asked the 3rd boyfriend, 'I loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?

'No!', replied the 3rd boyfriend. 'Life is too good! When you die, I'm going to marry someone else!'

Her heart sank and turned cold.

She then asked the 2nd boyfriend, 'I have always turned to you for help and you've always been there for me.

When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?'

'I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!', replied the 2nd boyfriend. 'At the very most, I can only walk with you to your grave.'

His answer struck her like a bolt of lightning, and the girl was devastated.

Then a voice called out: 'I'll go with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go.'

The girl looked up, and there was her 1st boyfriend. He was very skinny as he suffered from malnutrition and neglect.

Greatly grieved, the girl said, 'I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!.

In truth, you have 4 boyfriends in your lives:

Your 4th boyfriend is your body. No matter how much time and effort you lavish in making it look good, it will leave you when you die.

Your 3rd boyfriend is your possessions, status and wealth. When you die, it will all go to others.

Your 2nd boyfriend is your family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for you, the furthest they can stay by you is up to the grave.

And your 1st boyfriend is your Soul. Often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the world.

However, your Soul is the only thing that will follow you where ever you go. Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for it is the only part of you that will follow you. 

Thought for the day: Remember, when the world pushes you to your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray.

Pass this on to someone you care about - I just did.

Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections. I hope this touched you!



'Do not go where the path may lead, go instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.'  

love is patient, love is kind

it does not envy, it does not boast,

it is not proud

it is not rude, it is not self-seking

it is not easily angered,

it keeps no records of wrongs

love does not delight in evil,

but rejoices with the truth

it always protects, always trusts,

always hopes, always perseveres

love NEVER fails.

-I Corinthians 13:4-8-

I really like this verse from the bible. To be honest, I first heard this verse from the film A Walk to Remember. It was in the scene when Jamie Sullivan(Mandy Moore) showed the book or diary that her mother left. This verse is her favorite and she asked Landon Carter (Shane West) to read it to her. At that moment, when I heard this verse, I realized that love is indeed the very powerful feeling of all. I know that everyone knows what love is and we all show our love for the people we care for. But we can't deny that eventhough we know the true meaning of L-O-V-E we can't deny that some of us can't help to love selfishly. Sometimes I do wonder why this people can be so selfish yet they say that they love the person to whom they offered their love. It is not only in terms of the opposite sex but also to everyone. I just wish that we can really know and understand the true essence of love. L-O-V-E that is selfless, persevering, with dignity, patient, and reasonable.
