"That's it.""That's it what?""It's over. Rejected. Game over.""Oh."During the times when everything is fine and easy to go, people tends to forget their blessings and focus so much on their achievements. They take out this measuring tape of theirs and start to count every single thing that they can think of.
Yes. They will be very thankful, but they seldom give thanks. Esp those they have compromised the season before this. They unconsciously offended people, but the price tag of friendship sometimes oversee such trivial matters. Yet some acknowledged their offensiveness, but did nothing to salvage this little stuff of theirs. Their attitude in treating any relationship is like a rag - when I messed up, you came to the rescue. But when I'm fine, you are left beside the sink, waiting for someone else to wash but just not me, cos my hands are not made for such mundane work.
Life is full of crossroads. Some decide to make a turn in their lifes and hence forget those they promised to finish the jounrey together. Simply because they think they know what they want. They want to move on and make the turn. Not that it is not a good choice, but choices have consequences. Consequences seldom affect the 'turners', but those who have made a committment not to make that turn when they could before. Not that they didn't want to, but the covenant made them not to. Even so, to some it just another promise that is bend to be broken for sure.
Hopefully, everyone has such covenant, but sadly not all enjoy such privileges. Den strangely why on earth there is still people so strong in maintaining their relationships with one another? Simply yet profoundly. It is their conviction and loyalty. They do not belittle their speech, but make a choice to keep to their promise, even though it seems to be foolish to follow. They allow the 'turner' to do what they desire and at time they might disagree, but they made the choice to submit to the person's desire.
When conflict arises, one has to go under the other.
When desire clashes, one dream has to fade.
Usually its not the one who makes the turn the greatest. It is the one who give in to the other's choice, yet keeping his or hers a secret. What a fool. But a humble fool. Sadly, there's such thing as prevailing blind faith, otherwise there wouldn't be a need for freewill.
"Oh.""Let's start again?""Maybe next time."Count your cost before you even start work, because you might end up being mocked by other once you do not have enough money to finance the project. Maybe my rambling might encourage those who are feeling low.
