Some analogy i saw posted in a forum by a podder, crossroads and decided to share it with you all. :) Labels: Moody de mE
Somehow I feel it relates alot to the Show "Honour & Passion" of Pei Pei in the end accepting Wen Jing. (Ep. 18)
And it stirred some thoughts in my head...
Enjoy!~~~
I missed my bus today.
There was no frantic chasing, no dramatic shouting, no scene whatsoever at all.
In fact, you wouldn't believe how I just let the bus go.
I didn't realise that I was the only one left at the bus stop.
There was no bus in sight and I just glanced across the road for a moment, thinking of ideas for an article I was due to complete by tomorrow.
Just then, as I turned back, I saw a bus speeding past my bus stop. I managed to catch the bus number from the plate fixed at the back of the bus - 198 - the only bus from that bus stop that I could take.
As I watched the bus speeding into the distance, a feeling of foolishness overpowered me. It was only then did I realise that there was no one else around.
I had waited 15 minutes for a bus with a frequency of 15-20 minutes and it didn't stop because the only person at the bus stop didn't flag it and nobody on that bus was alighting at that stop.
What were the odds?Apparently it was 100% at that particular moment.
And just then, as the bus faded from my sight and merged into the busy traffic at the expressway, a thought came over me.
Life is exactly like that. We wait for opportunities to come our way much as the same way we wait for the right bus to bring us to our destinations. However it takes just a momental lapse in concentration or a little distraction for the opportunities to slip us by not unlike the same way we miss the right bus because we were looking elsewhere for just 2 seconds.
And it probably will be a good analogy for relationships as well. Looking for love is a little similar to waiting for a particular bus. Like the bus that left me feeling foolish, sometimes, the right person may have entered our lives but we may not be aware of it until he/she leaves because we are not paying enough attention or because we have other priorities.
Sometimes, we need to chase a bus because it is leaving and we want to get on it. If we are lucky and the bus driver notices us and is kind enough, he/she will stop and let us board. However, if the chase really started too late or if the bus driver did not notice us or he/she did but pretended not to, we will end up with cold stares from strangers who see us fools chasing after a bus that had no intention to stop for us.
And sometimes, like the way we are blinded by love, we develop astigmatism and board the wrong bus. Those who realize their mistake early get off the bus at once and face only the embarrassment of that moment. Those who do not realize their mistake until it is too late, i.e. until the bus has gone off course from their destination, suffer from not only embarrassment and shame but may become lost for a while and be faced with the hassle of planning how they can move on from the off-course track.
My thots...
Do we have to realise only when the perfect one who has slipped or passed us by is the one we have been waiting for all this while?
Do we have to circle round the conundrum of relationships to then realise...
...You have overlooked the person who has always been watching over you?
To live is to not to regret not overlooking those who realli cares for you.
可惜我已经错过对我最好的那个人。(Good Quote by Pei Pei) *Sighs*
