LIES 

when someone lies to you, it teaches you that things are not always

 what they seem....look beyond the masks people wear if you want to know

 what's in their hearts....remove your mask and let people know who you

 really are. 

THEFT 

when someone steals from you it tells you that nothing is forever....

 always appreciate what you have because you never know when you'll lose

 it. 

PAIN 

when you get injured, it's a lesson to teach you that the human state

 is very fragile....protect and take care of yourself as best as you can.

MOCKERY 

when you are mocked, it teaches you that we are all not the same...when

 you encounter people who are different from you don't judge them by

 their looks but on the contents of what is in their hearts. 

HEARTBREAK 

loving someone does not always mean that the person will love you

 back...when your heart is broken, always remember this but don't turn your

 back on love. when a door closes, another one openes so you'll find the

 right person and the joy that he/she will bring will make up for all

 your past hurts, a thousand times. 

FORGIVENESS 

when you are wronged, it teaches you that everyone makes mistakes...the

 most virtuous thing you can do is to forgive....forgiving is the most

 difficult and painful task of life experiences but it's also the most

 courageous thing to do. to err is human and to forgive.......... always

 remember that forgiveness heals the soul. 

UNFAITHFULNESS 

when someone is unfaithful to you, it teaches you that, resisting

 temptation is man's greatest challenge...but it is always good to be

 vigilant in your own resistance against all temptations....this rewards you

 with enduring sense of satisfaction far greater than the temporary

 pleasure which you were tempted. 

CRITISM 

nobody is perfect....accept your mistakes and work on them...accept

 people for their merits and be tolerant of their flaws. do not reject

 someone for imperfections over which they have no control. 

LOVE 

man's capacity to love is the greatest gift he has and each act of love

 teaches a lesson...with love there's charity, honesty, humility,

 forgiveness and acceptance...when you enter somebody's life, whether by

 plan, chance or coincidence, consisder what your lesson will be....will you

 teach love or a harsh lesson of reality? when you die, will you be

 judged for more loving or hurting?...more comfort or pain?...more joy or

 more sadness?...each of us has the power over the balance of the love in

 the world. use yours wisely. 

EACH PERSON WHO ENTERS YOUR LIFE HAS A UNIQUE LESSON TO TEACH YOU. IT'S

 ONLY THROUGH THESE LESSONS THAT WE LEARN ABOUT LIFE, PEOPLE AND OUR

 REALATIONSHIP WITH GOD
