“I’m unhappy and can’t cope.”
Unhappy is an orphan in a land without water, without mercy, without hope.

“I’m fat, ugly and slow”.
You’re more beautiful than the peacock who sang in Eden before the Fall.

“Who will marry me now?”
Don’t be a slave to social pressure. In time you will seed, plant and plough.

“I’m getting old and my body is changing shape.”
Wisdom, experience, memories and stories old only come with age and grace.

“I feel worthless and ashamed.”
You are more precious than a spotless butterfly escaping time’s ticking frame.

“How come everybody else looks happy?”
Their smiles may hide broken lives. Think twice before you point and get snappy.

“I have no friends who are true.”
First learn to love the enemy who lives in the heart, body and soul of you.

“My dreams and plans always fail.”
Build them wings and faithfully pray even if it takes you till Judgment Day.

“Why am I always left behind?”
Remove the fear of losing and express the slow burning desires inside your mind.

“My prayers go unanswered, I only get tears.”
Some of the greatest gifts come to you in the form of unanswered prayers.

“Life is such a bore and a drag.”
Tell that to a dying man who’s now screaming for life to come racing back.

“I don’t want your pity or advice.”*
I open my palms and offer you the dice of life without condition or price.
