I believe that in everything that we do, we always have a choice and it's always up to us to do something about it unless it's really way out of our hands. For example, if I'm studying in NUS and I felt that I would do better and be happier to study something else, I would have just changed course. Things like the government elections and all are not within our means.
I guess some people are just not strong enough to fight for what they think they deserve better. Or maybe they just don't know what they want.
But whatever it is, in whatever decision you make, you must be aware of all the possible consequences of your actions and be ready and fully prepared to accept the outcomes! Don't make a decision and then go around telling people that you regret, that you wish you could have chosen an alternative cos it just means that you didn't make a well-informed choice and you're just gonna cause everyone to end up in a confused state..
My thoughts on relationships: If I am together with guy A, there is still that risk of the both of us causing a heartbreak if any of us choose to leave for someone better. Until marriage, nothing is definite. And if I am attached yet can fall for someone else, say guy B, there's 2 things that I can do about it. The first is to ask myself if it's just a passing thing or just a temptation. If I know that it's temporary, then I would choose to kill off my feelings and remain faithful to A. However, the fact that I can fall for someone else means that I don't think that A is THE ONE for me and that there are several things that I am not satisfied with in our relationship. Because if he was really the one, I would feel that I won't be able to find someone else who can match up to him and who is as good as him and I would be happy and contented with A. If I can fall for B and think that I would be better off and more compatible with him, then I would leave A and get together with B.
Relationships are just so complex eh.
