Do you believe there are Angel's among us?

*looks around at the world*

Are there angels amongst us?

... Clearly not enough.

Ahhh, but when you do find that one, it is a very liberating experience. And they usually come to you, so you probably wouldn't be able to tell right off the bat just by looking.

I know several people that by moral metaphorical standards could be described as angels.

One person I know is one despite his best attempts to be otherwise. As much as he wishes, he could he can never resist the call to duty. If he sees someone suffering he will step in and assist them, then he complains about doing so afterwards (not to the person, to me).

I'm not sure the people who actually are the angels among us really have to go to an extreme effort in being such an angel.

My friend (to whom I refered) has never in his life been able to simply enjoy a party because he's continually spent them taking care of those who get drunk, sick or agressive (though now he and I tag team such things so at least one of us will enjoy it). That's just one example of the sacrifices it takes to be an "angel".

Even angels have the right to grump now and then.

Darn tootin'... though usually it's only the other angels who listen.

But it doesn't stop them from their calling.....

As much as they might wish otherwise.

People NEED to belive, otherwise there is no purpose in living.

Cause life gets more "exiting" and meaningful when you belive for instance that there is someone watching over you, doesnt it?

Kind of like those random acts of kindness we witness, partake in, benefit from or hear about every now and then. I like you and your angelic friend's tag team approach you mentioned. Sharing the load of a friend really doesn't take that much sacrifice at all, does it?

And I agree that grumping to another "angel" is relief in itself. Who else would really listen or care?

Deep down do you really think they wish it were different?

Well. When I hear the word angel, I think of God´s agels with wings and all that. And, I dont belive in people who came here from heaven to watch over us. But I DO belive that there are sertain people, of flesh and bones, with a sertain "ability" to take care of people, or how I should express it. Some days I belive in these kind of "things" and some I dont. And I think its really about oneself. Whatever you belive in exist, you know what I mean? It exist for YOU and thats the important thing. Its wonderful and secure to belive that there is someone looking after you, and it might help you in life, just by beliving in it.
And I think this goes for everything that has to do with religion. People NEED to belive, otherwise there is no purpose in living. Cause life gets more "exiting" and meaningful when you belive for instance that there is someone watching over you, doesnt it?

Some ANGEL'S wear

wings of silken white and

golden robes so grand.

Some walk the earth in

blue jeans and lend a

helping hand.
