I believe that watching television prepared me for Life. That is why I am very stingy in terms of what shows to watch and what songs to hear and what books and articles to read. Because I tend to remember things for a very long time, I can pretend to forget it but when memories are pricked, it comes gushing back like flooding waters.
Huiyuan was raving how awesome The Fierce Wife was and I caught a few episodes of it but stopped due to exams. Thank goodness for technology, I can now sit comfortably on my bed and began where I stopped. In of the later episodes, An Zhen mentioned a quote by Tagore that was really interesting, thought I should penned it down lest my brain fails me.
如果你因为错过太阳而流泪，你也会错过月亮。

Never let your tears for the past blind you from finding your future.
And remember the crappy-but-so-true saying about "the greatest distance is you dont know I love you" that people in one-sided relationship ALWAYS used, it's by Tagore too. -smiles-
The Furthest Distance in the World
By: Tagore 泰戈尔
The furthest distance in the world
世界上最遥远的距离
Is not between life and death
不是生与死
But when I stand in front of you
而是 我就站在你面前
Yet you don't know that I love you
你却不知道我爱你
The furthest distance in the world
世界上最遥远的距离
Is not when I stand in front of you
不是 我就站在你面前
Yet you can't see my love
你却不知道我爱你
But when undoubtedly knowing the love from both
而是 明明知道彼此相爱
Yet cannot be together
却不能在一起
The furthest distance in the world
世界上最遥远的距离
Is not being apart while being in love
不是 明明知道彼此相爱 却不能在一起
But when plainly can not resist the yearning
而是 明明无法抵挡这股思念
Yet pretending you have never been in my heart
却还得故意装作丝毫没有把你放在心里
The furthest distance in world
世界上最遥远的距离
Is not but using one's different heart
不是 明明无法抵挡这股思念 却还得故意装作丝毫没有把你放在心里
To dig an uncrossable river
而是 用自己冷漠的心对爱你的人
For the one who loves you
掘了一条无法跨越的沟渠
Tagore, an old Indian man from the century before, yet he knows how the future will be shaped like. Perhaps the human heart and mind have always been troubled by the same things, now and 200 years ago.
