I always remember this verse after watching Pandora's Box, Journey to the West. The one starred by Stephen Chow, Athena Chu and Karen Mok. Sun Wu Kong said this before he decided to put on his jing ku bang and be devoid of any humanly desires. That was when he revealed his utmost regret.
Have you ever felt the same way? Let go of someone whom you loved? Failed to cherish your loved ones when they were still beside you? Does it rip your heart to see the girl you love cry because of you? Did it devastate you when he left for another girl because you wanted to change him and you just couldn't accept him for who he is?
Regrets, are always there somewhere in our lives.. We can choose not to see them, choose to deviate from them, but one way or another, they are always embedded along the journey. Many people (including me!) say that they wanna lead a life with no regrets. They wanna look back in reminiscence during their twilight years and smile saying that there's no other route they would have taken. They wanna die knowing that they have lived a fulfilling and contented life. Well, who doesn't? But the point is, how many of us can actually do it...
Hard, I would say... If you had, at some point of your life, shed a tear and wished that things had been different or wished that you had done something more while you could, that's already a mark in your life that can't be erased no matter what. BUT, the good thing about life is that: IT MOVES ON. Haha. Positive thinking yar. Life moves on no matter you like it or not, and if you don't wan to be left behind and live in the past, you gotta move on too. A new phase of life brings with it a new set of opportunities and a new gateway to happiness..
Well, that's my two pence worth for tonite.. Oyasumi..
