some random thoughts...
Just read a blog of a friend...
She was talking about love. Is it better to be loved and to love? I remember discussing this with dear dear. Hee... But we being our usual crappy selves, and seriously, we do feel that way, our conclusion is that it doesn't apply to our relationship. Cos we know that we love each other as much. =) Anyway, back to the blog entry... she also made an analogy, comparing love to canned food - It will change somehow, but does it mean that once we reach its expiry date, we have to throw it away? I hope not. Cos love is so beautiful, how can we throw something that is so beautiful away? =/ Learning to let go is so much better. There really is no reason to hold on so tightly to something that has already changed. Just like when you know the other party has already had a change of heart, it is better to let go then hang on there, suffering.
Anyway, is there really true love? Can someone really love another person for the rest of the life? I have no idea. Maybe it exists. I hope it does. Dear, your take on this? =p
We never know what will happen in the future. Thus we have to learn to treasure the present. Treasure the time spent together, treasure the memories and experiences. Treasure the people around us. I do not wish to have to learn this only when they are gone. But sad to say, most of time, people only learn to treasure and love when the person or item they love most disappears.. by then, it is usually too late.
So lesson to be learnt, always love and treasure the people around you. Let them know you love and care for them, and that you treasure them. Do not wait till it's too late. We do not know what our future holds for us. We can only pray hard and hope for the best, but it is even better to treasure our present. =)
