When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.
~George Bernard Shaw

spotted this quote in m. gayle's Dinner for Two.

given this quote then, why do we waste our time being in love?

since eventually we still hope to be at peace. without starting a relationship with the possibility/ eventuality of being broken hearted, we can remain at peace.

but truth be told, though it may be the end of happiness, it does not really lead to the beginning of peace. cos peace usually starts setting in at a much later point.

i don really know. but that's as far as i've got. havent really thought farther into it. but the quote's been swimming in my head for a long time. of course, it could be seen in many other contexts. but usually most categorise it under 'love'.

as grace said, there's always someone out there made for you. so why bother looking? see, fate is really weird. yeah, so till the right person comes along i guess it's best to not let ur boats be burned and just sit around and watch the world go by.
