Water that is poured can never be retrieved back.

Translated from a Chinese saying that words, ideas, thoughts or actions can never be taken back when the deed has been done. Hence, there is room for regret and disappointment with a dash of pain and a whole lot of meloncholic feelings left behind.

Sometimes when the pain becomes overwhelming, one may search to release and vent the frustrations. Some resort to screaming their lungs out, some may resort to suicide. I chose a more healthy alternative, hitting the gym. Note that I used the word healthy, not safe because on this occasion when I was releasing my negative energies, I managed to nearly rip my entire shoulder apart because I was so "bu zhi liang li" and decided to carry the load myself. My arm gave way and the sheer force tore my muscle nearly into half. Talk about conversion of energy from emotional pain to physical pain... sounds sadistic but hey, I am entitled to this little luxury once in a while.

In every sense 0f the word, what I cannot understand, comprehend or decipher is why people take "things" back after they have given it out. It is just like the Christmas season, you buy a present for someone and it is something that this person has always wanted. You give it to him and suddenly in a moment of guilt or perhaps regret... you say.. ooopss..... sorry, I am taking it back because you re not ready for it yet. Catch my drift!!!! It is just too ironic that such things do happen in the world and the when it hits someone, the only thought is why?

Perchance patience comes to mind but yet with the ramblings that I have been going on about, patience will be left for another day. As for now, I believe that if one were to do something, one has to see it through to the very end. It is just like a marathon that a person runs halfway simply because he regreted signing up while running. The joy in the marathon is not about the glory in winning but the journey itself. It may be gruelling and it may hurt at times but heck, all of that is worth it.

When was the last time we saw through something to the very end?
