...

“Yet from those flames / No light, but rather darkness visible / Served only to discover sights of woe, / Regions of sorrow, doleful shades where peace / And rest can never dwell, hope never comes / That comes to all.” (John Milton)

Sometimes the only thing that people see is what you did, when in fact, they should be looking at why you did it.

ever heard the phrase, "sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind"? If you knew that the one you love really wanted to be with someone else, but due to circumstances that person can't be with the one he/she loves and since you're there, 'settles' for you instead...

would you allow the one you love to 'settle' on you and give up on his/her chance to be with the one that he/she really wants to be with?

or would you do whatever it takes, even make the person think that you would be infinitely better off without him/her in your life... so that the person would walk away from you... and hopefully find his/her path towards the one that he/she really loves?

thud.
