EGAD!! I HAVEN'T BEEN BLOGGING FOR SO LONG!!
at this point of time, i should sheepishly lower my head and then look up, with puppy eyes, then whisper INNOCENTLY: "sorry...laziness got to me".
-THE ABOVE MENTIONED is a skill i learnt from my dearest students-
anyways, i had been religiously watching a korean drama ( gosh, i can hear u groan) entitled "SANG DOO! LET'S GO TO SCHOOL!"
yes i know the title rhymes and it sounds rather silly...and when i reveal that the hero of the drama is RAIN, u guys will just sigh and deem me a lovesick rain-fan. (not that i deny this claim...aherm,)
BUT, this tear-jerker really touched my heart. really.
The drama explored the idea of love; more specifically, sacrificial love. however, in this aspect, sacrificial love was not only expressed as something honourable, heroic, etc; but instead, something that can hurt immensely.
many times when watching the show, i frustratedly asked myself just why couldnt the characters be more selfish in their love, and not choose to always sacrifice for the other party? if they had been more selfish, they would have been happier.
Right?
Then i realised that the essence of love is none other than sacrifice.
it is because love exists that the cliff of sacrifice opens and many take the plunge. it is because love exists that selfishness is no longer an option.
so all in all, it is a vicious circle.
THEN, why do we still continue to love despite knowing that by loving, we are throwing ourselves into the arms of sacrifice and hurt?
the answer given by the protagonist (uttered from the mouth of RAIN himself. ooh.) was: "i never thought i was unhappy".
and then i understood.
