If you look up in the dictionary, the word cherish is defined as "to hold dear or to treat with tenderness
and affection".
There are so many things and people on this Earth that we should cherish.
Our family, friends or even the things we have by our side.
Most of us often take everything that is given to us for granted.
We often think that whatever we have now will be a part of our lives forever.
We never learn to cherish something until we lose someone or something we dearly love.
Family are the ones that are placed by our side by God.
We can't choose which family we want as family member.
We can't choose which family we want to be born into.
Sometimes we grumble that our family do not care about us.
However, the painful truth about their importance in our lives will only come when they are separated from us by death or other means.
Hold them dearly now because there is no point regretting never loving them after losing them, forever.
There are billions of people in this world.
To have friends is something of a bliss and requires the hand of fate.
But sadly, not all of us realise this.
We often think that friends will stay by our side forever.
And because of this, we never really cherish their presence in our lives.
Different friends are just like crayons of different colours.
They colour our life beautifully and we cannot afford to lose any of them.
Their presence is what we ought to cherish.
We often hear people say 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth'.
But is it really right for us to hate and hold grudges over those who hurt us?
It's true that they hurt us, but it is also true that through them we have learned a lot of important lesson.
Trough them, we learn that society, the world is not simple.
Trough them, we learn to be bold.
and thanks to them also, we learn to love.
So, cherish the ones in your life today !!
May Allah Bless
