The right person...

It has always been said that the success of a relationship depends on choosing the right partner. This may be true in many ways but the problems is in finding out who the right person is. And most of the time it is revealed to us only when we are already deep into the relationship where turning back is difficult, if not utterly painful.

Loving always involves a certain amount of risk. It offers no guarantee of permanence. Getting involved with someone is easy. But getting out of a relationship when we have already invested so much of our love and time can be very difficult. The purpose of failures in a relationship is to strengthen us and make us better persons. We should learn from our mistakes and use our insight in making new commitments.

There are times when we realize the importance of a person only when he is gone and already in the arms of someone else. We make costly decisions that leave us hurting in the end. But then again, pain will always be part of loving. And we have to learn to accept our fate before we can freely move on and continue our search for the "right person".
