If you had two hours left on earth, what would you do?
If you had two hours left on earth, what would you do?
I have had a long journey, one that I have always been at the receiving end of other people's decisions.
I tried not to hurt people, so I stay off their path. I try to be kind to all and sundry. Every single time, my kindness is always rewarded with a backstab.

I usually leave them behind, cut off communications so I don't have to be reminded of what they did, and become sad.
So, if I had 2 hours left on earth, I would call this list of persons
- My first boyfriend's current girlfriend
- My first Best Friend(not anymore)
- My third Best Friend (not anymore)
And I will rant out how I felt about what they all did, and forgive and forget. I am not saying I haven't forgiven them, I have, I haven't forgotten.
The wounds still haven't healed completely, and I often use the experience I had with them to judge every new person that comes into my life.
I know I shouldn't be using past mirrors to judge present relationships, but, after all, they did, I began to live on a " once struck, twice shy" philosophy.
I turned stone cold, and every day, I slowly move my kindness away from me. My kindness became my weakness, so I am still in a battle of ridding myself of it. I am constantly being taken advantage of because I preferred to spread kindness around.
At some point, I began to study human nature, and discover how to live, and not allow room for bad people to wreck my life anymore.
I find it difficult to get hurt these days, if someone does something, I completely understand why, and I don't point fingers. It is the way they choose to live, so I leave the judging to the Almighty.
So the last 2 hours of my life would be used to render my heartfelt hurt to the people who put the wounds there. And then die, peacefully.
What's the best gift you have ever given?
Do I know? I have always wanted to see people smile. So anytime I had the means, I helped.
I usually sat down and cook up gifts and makeup reasons for them. Prepare them and give them to a lot of people in my life.
If I find smiles on their faces, then I realized they needed it badly. It makes me want to do more.
So I do not have a specific gift that I considered the best. All my gifts have been acknowledged and it brought joy to the receiver.
I consider them all best because it brought smiles, and took a bit of their burden off their shoulder.
PS: I invite @zanoz, to join this contest, and share her views with fellow ladies of hive.
If i had two hours left on earth,what will i do?? Personally i will first of all tell my mother how much i love her..
Then secondly i will withdraw more than eighty percentage of my savings and give it to all charity organizations that i know all over the society
Forgiving is a great thing, not so much for the "offender", but for ourselves. Forgiving frees us from pain. On the other hand I love that you give smiles, there is nothing better in this life than a face illuminated by a smile.
Thanks for the invite.
I think saying your mind would help lift whatever you felt inside for these sets of people or maybe what you are still feeling inside.
But it's also very needful to let go all the hurt and pains they might have caused you.
So the last 2 hours of my life would be used to render my heartfelt hurt to the people who put the wounds there. This is just beautiful, @atomz!
Thanks for sharing.
Good luck with the contest!
