The two sides of a quote...to me.


"If you love something let it go,
If it comes back to you it's yours,
If it doesn't, it never was."


Although I posted this like everywhere, but actually, I don't believe it 100%, 70% maybe, but definitely not 100%. I don't believe that when you love something you have to let it go, but doing things like this occasionally might be interesting. It signifies that you're sending a challenge to Fate, or whatever it is, and see if what happens in the end. It's a bet, effective for an unknown period of time, with an unknown amount of chips. Although obviously, you'll be on the side of losing, but knowing that there is this kind of hope in life is indeed tempting, and much aspiring.

But what if it doesn't?

Is it really never yours?

Now this, I suspect, is the creator-of-the-quote's effort in helping us to get through with life. Think logically, if something is yours for once, then it was. It's history and no one can change it. But knowing that can be suffering, and even perhaps painful to a certain extent, but really, it's all better that we pretend that it never was yours. And I thank the creator's kindness in strengthening our emotional power in a so-subtle way that we didn't even notice the fact that our understanding of what we perceived is being manipulated.

If I might put it simply, this quote is a reflection of advising someone who wanted to test if his or her suspicion or premonition is true. All too many times in life we are so troubled with many things that are ambiguous and maybe even controversial when it's placed on the table flat and clear for all to see: loyalty, justice, kindness, courage, prejudice, love. How do we know if --- ---

Jeez. What the hell am I writing.
