i was watching Oprah today and they featured this extremely wealthy lady in her 40s who married some 20+ boy.. and 6 yrs into the marriage he just said he was gay and they divorced.. anyway something that the woman said made me think about the transience of everything in life she said,

"happiness is as long as it lasts"..

well it made me think of a story that i read about some time in the past.. basically it just implies that everything in life is passes after some time.. so if u're experiencing something happy, u have to cherish the moment and make the best of it.. if its something bad, u just have to remember that "this too will pass" and just hope for whatever it is to be over.. i've always used that as kind of a mantra to get me through really rough times..

BUT,

it is kinda sad isn't it, to know that everything will end sooner or later.. its just like when i think of all the friends that i've made staying in hall.. i truly wonder how long they'll last and whether i'll ever get to see them after graduation.. i can't help but sound cheesy when i say that i really hope to stay good friends with all that i've found here.. but do they feel the same way? i guess i'll never know.. but i have started losing touch with the closer friends who have graduated...

i suppose its already quite good that i've known them for a while in my lifetime...

just like what david said.. "there is no eternal feast under heaven".. funny yes.. but really strikes a chord within me.
