Life is like an onion: You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep

Now a days I have little spare time ... as blogging is my favorite past time but i could not write any thing... because every time i write something i do not publish it... you might be thinking why...reason is because of my sister......
Recently I have lost my elder sister... and the last article that i have written was dedicated to her ... So jaise hi mei koi blog likh ke publish karne ki sochta hoon..... suddenly I feel ke meri sister ka blog will be replaced by this new one... and this is what i am not liking.....
I was basically not happy about the life and the pain it gives.. .. so I started seaching the net and i found few good quotations about life which really helped me to some extent.... which I also want to share with you....
-------------------------------------------------
You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her only that she is gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what she'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
-------------------------------------------------
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
-------------------------------------------------
For certain is death for the born
And certain is birth for the dead;
Therefore over the inevitable
Thou shouldst not grieve.
-------------------------------------------------
If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to
change costume and come back as a new character...Would
you slow down? Or speed up?
-------------------------------------------------
Death is not the greatest loss in life.
The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.
-------------------------------------------------
Love is stronger than death
even though it can't stop death from happening,
but no matter how hard death tries
it can't separate people from love.
It can't take away our memories either.
In the end, life is stronger than death.
-------------------------------------------------
Life lives, life dies.
Life laughs, life cries.
Life gives up and life tries.
But life looks different
through everyone's eyes.
-------------------------------------------------
God pours life into death
and death into life
without a drop being spilled.
-------------------------------------------------
People do not die for us immediately,
but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life
which bears no relation to true immortality
but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts
in the same way as when they were alive.
It is as though they were traveling abroad.
-------------------------------------------------
If the people we love are stolen from us,
the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them.
Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever.
-------------------------------------------------
