Againts the odds

One of my best friends asked me yesterday, ‘why have you not asked me to forget all about him?’

She’s fallen for a man who has a reputation to sleep with anything in a skirt. He’s also known to have a big ego. On top of that, he’s of a different race and religion. Everybody tells her to forget about him, that it’s a bad idea to get involved with somebody like that.

I know how it feels like to love someone that seems all wrong, to have all odds againsts you. Yet, instincts tells you that it’s right to continue loving them.

I believe in the goodness of people. I believe in karma, that the universe works in ways that we might not necessarily understand. I also believe that when you give, you receive something- sometimes in multiples.

I believe in love, I think it can overcome a lot of things.
I believe in loving, because it fulfills you in ways that nothing else can.

I believe in instincts, and I believe that we should all have courage to stand up for what we think is right.

In instances like this, we have all the reasons to give up and forget all about it. She doesn’t need me to point out how wrong it is. Should it turn out to be a bad decision, she would soon learn and she would understand, and make better choices in the future. For now, there’s still a chance it would turn out right.

To love is to have courage, to stare your fears down.
After all, what’s life without a few risks?
