"And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

Whenever in doubt, trust your heart, and not your eye,
Whenever in doubt, trust your heart, and not your mind.


Jamie: How can you see places like this... and have moments like this and not believe?
Landon: You're lucky to be so sure.
Jamie: It's like the wind. I can't... see it, but I feel it.

Some things can never really be proven to the mind or seen with the eye, the existence of god... the purity of love... One will then need to know how to trust one's heart, to listen to it and to see with it.

trust one's heart? i doubt it can be that easy..trustin your heart may lead you to the wrong decision too..love is in the eye of the beholder..but love may cause one to be oblivious of him/her bad points.. and if that's the case, one may end up with regret..worst end up with divorce once they get married...so it's still not that easy...

ya, nothing is easy... so let's not try.. let's look for comfort and security...let's avoid pain... true, why do we want to hurt ourselves? i guess we should then always choose the person tat could inflict the least harm on us... and if he could inflict the least harm on us.... it would also mean the person wouldn't mean tat much to us... because he/she is not important enuff to hurt us tat much... snd it would also mean the person wouldn't be able to make u laff tat much.. so if u would settle for the path of least pain, choose someone tat likes u but u have no feelings for... It's a sure proof way of not getting hurt

No, I wun settle for someone I haven any feelings for. but in response to ur statement, "trustin your heart may lead you to the wrong decision too..love is in the eye of the beholder..but love may cause one to be oblivious of him/her bad points.. and if that's the case, one may end up with regret..", if one is so scared of listening to the heart, of getting hurt, then dun listen to ur heart then, listen to your mind, and choose someone tat can inflict the least harm on you.

And I disagree, i dun think trusting ur heart can ever lead to the wrong decision when it comes to love, because love only comes from the heart and not the mind. Perhaps you may think I'm being over idealistic here budden again, I believe love shouldn't be tied down by logic, shouldn't be measured by the easiness of the relationship, for instance, compalibility in social status, the financial security etc... The only thing tat can ever measure love in my eyes are the feelings one have for each other, so my pt is, the heart can never be wrong when it comes to matters of love.

As regards to ur qn,

"but i guess all humans are silly in that they always seek someone who will hurt them in the end...dont you think so?"

Perhaps it's due to our perverse nature to take things for granted, until we lose them, do we realize how much we value them. Perhaps you see no link so let me elaborate, bcos we tend to take the things we have in hand for granted, we never know how important they are to us. We dun feel it bcos they r there for us everyday. So we tend to 'like' someone that doesn't return our 'like', or rather, we like the false illusion of that particular someone. Till the people who are always there for us leave us do we then realize how much we value them . But perhaps by tat time, it'll be too late. Just take for eg how we treat our family, most of us take them for granted if I'm not wrong, we tend to lose our temper easily. With frens, we are somewat nicer pple. N wif acquaintances, we r even nicer pple. This is merely to illustrate the pt that we seriously have this tendency to take the pple
tat are always there for us for granted.

So pple, if you dun wana haf any regrets, dun treat the pple tat are always there for u for granted, be more appreciate to ur parents ur close friends etc...

I agree with you totally that people are taking each other for granted. We do not show affection that much as we can. Excueses like 'being busy', 'other can be there for him/her' stops u from giving others a little of your love or to reciprocate the love by others. The 'love' is referring to all loves EXCEPT e love for ur special one.

'And I disagree, i dun think trusting ur heart can ever lead to the wrong decision when it comes to love, because love only comes from the heart and not the mind.

Love is irrational, yet people try to rational it. That's why, we can never go over the barrier of monetary and stability problems.

We are living in the 21st century whereby it is so different from the past. People living before Industrial Revolution hav all the time to look for true love asd they hav lesser worries. Thus, talking about love as time changes, our definition of love gota change. It is hard to talk about love as pure love due to the world we are stayiung in now.

I guess, I am not being clear. Do doubt me. (:
