Risk of Love

I've realized that sometimes you get no second chance and that it's best to accept the gifts the world offers you. Of course it's risky, but is the risk any greater than the chance of the bus that took forty-eight hours to bring me here having an accident? If I must be faithful to someone or something, then I have, first of all, to be faithful to myself. If I'm looking for true love, I first have to get the mediocre loves out of my system. The little experience of life I've had has taught me that no one owns anything, that everything is an illusion - and that applies to material as well as spiritual things. Anyone who has lost something they thought was theirs forever (as has happened often enough tome already) finally comes to realize that nothing really belongs to them.


And if nothing belongs to me, then there's no point wasting my time looking after things that aren't mine; it's best to live as if today were the first (or last) day of my life.

"And if nothing belongs to me, then there's no point wasting my time looking after things that aren't mine" These words are spoken all most the same way in Bhagavat Geetha, The Hindu sacred Text , it is an advise to Arjun , the Pandava Warrior by Lord Krishna ;

Nice post and very thought provoking. Every women who spends most of her life wanting perfection should imbibe the principle behind it- detatched attachment, because women are infinitely more capable than male counterparts and only attachments to someone and somethings keep them from achieving their and society's potential....
