'tis another day..
haiz. i'm so bored. i hope the recruit express person calls me soon. i need smth to do. :S
hmm i realized smth - tht sometimes wht we think is best for the person may not be the best aftr all. it sounds easy and logical the way i say it and the way you read it, but if u think abt it, i'm sure there're times when you've said or done things tht u think would be best for the other person, but in actual fact it's not.
and in the process, you find tht it may be 'worth it' to be the one sacrificing certain things. but in actual fact there's no need for such a sacrifice, cos the only thing tht'll prob come out of it, would be the slight noble feeling you'll feel, before feeling miserable with the decision u made for the other person and the decision tht the other person has come to accept.
an example would be if your best fren decides to emigrate to somewhere far far away from you. obviously wht u want would be for ur best fren to stay rite where you are and therefore nth shld change, rite? but u dun want to be 'selfish' and u decide to tell ur best fren to go ahead. in the end, your best fren may/may not want to go in the first place, but becos he/she respects ur decision, he/she goes ahead with it. and in the end, you (and mb ur best fren too) may regret tht decision made, which ironically was made in the intention of being the best decision for either party. same goes for you and your loved one, if either one of you decides to go overseas.
so i guess wht i'm saying is: it's ok to be selfish once in a while. aftr all, we're all only human.
