To Fight or To Lay Low

Here is a thought that occurred to me on the way to Uni... it was kindly induced by the song 내 머리가 나빠서 by SS501. For those of you that don't know its the Ji Hoo song from BBF. [ snaps to BBF and fans <3] The literal translation for the song is "Because I am stupid". So the song is pretty much centered around Ji Hoo's love for Jan Di. The ending goes something like
니가 너무 생각나는 날엔
In those days when all I think about is you
가슴 시리고 슬픈 날에는

Those days when my heart is cold and sad
니가 보고싶다 입가에 맴돌아
My mouth wordlessly repeats “I want to see you”
혼자 다시 또 cry for you
And all alone I cry for you again
혼자 다시 또 missing for you
And all alone I’m missing you

And so it begs the question is it stupid of Ji Hoo?

Take his situation. 2people that he unduly cares about - one his best friend which he has grown to love like a brother, the other is the one his heart yearns for.

Would one rather keep fighting for the one he yearns for - and attempt to break down the walls, or does one realise the happiness before him?

There are strong arguments on either side
There are those that say that when a person has the ability to turn a half empty glass into half full, your darkest corner into the brightest room, to turn the coldest winter's night breeze into a refreshing breathe, to change a sleepless night into a night of wakeful thoughts, then they are truly worth fighting for.

But then there are those that say, if she is already happy is that not enough for one's self?

Myself? Well I tend to believe that sometimes to show someone that you them and care you have to let them go. If one truly loves the one he yearns for, then nothing would be more satisfying then seeing them happy and content. Even if the happiness is found in the arms of the best friend, the pain that ones suffers is also worth the happiness in her face.

The idea that letting in some cases letting them go is the only way to show them you care is more vast in its application than that of love. The same principle can be applied to parents and child. There will come a time when parents will learn to let their child go and develop as human beings on their own. This is not to say that parents don't love their child before hand, it simply means that at that stage to love them is to let them experience the world for themselves.

Take the example of a child. He is always told by his parents that chilli is 'hot' and 'spicy'. They do this out of love for him. And yes, naturally the child will avoid chilli, because he knows that they are 'hot'. But at some stage the parents will have to let him attempt the 'hotness', not for pain, but to understand and truly know what his parents meant by 'hot'. Simply put whilst a child may be told a chilli is hot, they will never understand the extent to which it means unless they try it themselves.

And so this brings me to the end of my rant today...
