Hopeless Romantic...

Recent events in the family made me stop and reflect again regarding the dilemmas of life. I thought so what if some people are just so idealistic that they are willing to sacrifice some of the valuable things in their lives for something they find more...valuable? I'm talking about those situations wherein you're left with only two choices, and you're gauging which is more important. Money over love, career over family or child, power over friendship, or vice-versa. If I were to choose money over love, can you blame me if it's what will make me happy and keep me at peace, and hoping for a good ending? Or if I'm a mother, that I'll choose my job over taking care of my child back in my hometown?

It's a fact that a thing can be important for one person but not for another. So what's the sense of judging one's judgment? As long as we acknowledge our accountability over our choices, outside opinions shouldn't be an issue. But some people just love to play politics and inject whatever vain inputs they can do to prolong a decision process. For some reason they are so self-conceited that they wanted their "voices" heard. However, instead of helping they don't realize that they are just adding salt to the wound.

At some point in our lives we must have gone through that moment of choice same problem. Life is just full of surprises that they make us excited, but other times they come in the most inconvenient time and place. One bad choice would make us regret for the rest of our lives. But there's no contesting God's favor and grace through all the trials of life. Every cloud has a silver lining, as the saying goes.

Oh it seems that we just couldn't make everything perfect in this world, and don't dare ask why because nobody knows. Nobody knows the future. Our made-up plans will either just work out or not work out. What can we do? But well, long live the hopeless romantics! Keep dreaming, keep looking, keep trying, keep believing!
