The tele soaps are a good watch.. one can have a hearty laugh. The loud makeup and horibble acting, along with the storyline (if there is any) is like a comedy show. I was taking my daily dose of laughter last night when a character in the soap said something which drew my attention...

"Its better to let go than to lose"

Now it is very unlikely that the soaps can have any sensible thing.. and surely this sentence was not said in the context I wish to use it; but it made sense anyway. Let me not say anything of the context... I will let it be as vague as it is supposed to be.

A thought .. or way of life..

Some moments are not to be remembered... they are to be experienced; Some days are not to be cherished... they are to be lived; Some people are not to be loved... they are to be worshipped.

“I feel nothing of the kind. I owe you an apology. I don’t usually let things happen to me. I made a mistake this time. I shouldn’t have waited for you to throw me out. I should have left long ago.”

- from “The fountainhead” by Ayn Rand

I couldn't help mentioning this line here. When I read this.. everything was so clear.. and I knew that I couldn't blame anyone else but me. And it felt strange and disgusting that I had forgotten the underlying principal of my life... I have always lived by my rules.. and I guess I needed something written down by someone else, to remind me of them!!!

“I’ve given up, and I am not afraid. Only there’s something I would like to understand. And I don’t think anyone can explain it. You see, I know it’s the end for me. I know it, but I can’t quite believe it, I can’t feel it. It’s so strange. There’s your life. You begin it, feeling that it’s something so precious and rare, so beautiful that it’s like a sacred treasure. Now it’s over, and it doesn’t make any difference to anyone, and it isn’t that they are indifferent, it’s just that they don’t know what it means, that treasure of mine, and there’s something about it that they should understand. I don’t understand it myself, but there’s something that should be understood by all of us. Only, what is it? …What?” -
