"TO GAIN IS TO LOSE" I was thinking about this the other day, and isn’t that true? When you gain something..doesn’t something always has to be lost? Isn’t there something that is always..I guess you can say, “traded” in a way for something to be gained? Something will always pay in the end SOME type of way. You can look at this as “cause and effect.” But it makes sense right?
For instance here are some examples: When you buy something, you gotta pay. When you eat something, you lose your hunger. When you go out with a friend, you could have missed out on a different hangout with another friend. When you find a new activity or whatever, your gona lose some of your time.. Right?
And then, there are those “cause and effects” where it's a little more serious, and we never really think about it….When you gain the satisfaction of speed and rush way past the speed limit on a freeway, but then you lose your life..When you gain popularity, but you lose your true-self. When you gain a new friendship, but lose another one. When you gain laughter from a "harmless" joke, but lose comfort and confidence from a friend..These are some things that just came to my mind, and I’ve been thinking about it. You’re actions could affect many people without you even realize it. So what are some of the things that you’ve lost in your life..just because you simply wanted a...“gain”…??

I lost a friend... a dear friend.. and i can never gain that friendship the way it used to be.. EVERY day i remember the good times and look at what i gained... emptyness. I was actually thinking about that quote a couple of days ago too. THis is a cause and effect world.. some things canbe lost if the gain is better.. but you always have to remmeber that the gain might lookbetter than the loss but it might be blinded by selfish desires... I dont know it pains me to look bback and see what i have lost.:(

ReplyDeleteI've had to live with that... knowing that I've lost someone and could never get it back, because it would never be the same?
... one of the worst feelings ever.
Yup Miss Vintage... It sucks :( but remember there are more than 6 billion people in the world that can walk into your life and make it all better.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know how that feels..it IS one of the worst feelings ever..
ReplyDeleteIt's a quote I've been thinking about as well!
