Some things are meant to be, and some are not. However heavy it makes our heart, and however many times it makes us cry. For the most part, it should suffice that this too shall pass. Many years ago, I learnt that no matter however much we want, we really can’t control the feelings of others, or what they think of us. We can force obedience, but love and respect cannot be demanded, they are the givers’ prerogative. We can choose our course of action, but we can neither predict nor control all the consequences. Honesty is the best policy, but sometimes, silence is golden. Letting go is hard, but often, it is the best thing to do. And as Steve Jobs said, ‘You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.’

yes, true...
Very thoughtful! I like the bit about connecting the dots backwards especially.
Yes. yes. and Yes.
And the dots can be connected upon reflection, much later.
Ah reflection ! Which is in short supply in the frenzy of the daily world !
