Topic on FlyFM's Pagi show this morning : Brad(as in Pitt- like there is any other) did the right thing by leaving Jennifer when he met his perfect match- Angelina.
My first thought : Accurate. I fully agree.
Now, the FLyFM announcer Nadia was the one who made this statement. Her co-announcer Ben was obviously appalled that she would say such a thing. He thinks that it is a terrible, terrible thing to do to another. Just because we met someone else while we are with another, there is no justification for leaving whom we are with to be with the other person.
One caller said : One should never build their happiness based on another's misery.
Another agreed with Nadia that if you have met the love of your life (or so you think) then you should go for it.
I agree that if you think you have met the love of your life, you should go for it. One can be with another for 7 years ( that would be me but that is another story for another day) and still not think that the person is right for you. And someone else comes along, and you click, you laugh at the same things, break into song at the same time, laugh at the same jokes and all those other things which you hardly find in another person (best friend, parent, sibling or what not) what should stop you from pursuing it?
My rationale is this :- It would cause temporary misery for the person left behind, but it would be lifelong suffering if one were to stay with another out of obligation when the person's heart is no longer with the other but is longing for someone else. That would be unfair to him or her. Why would I want to "force" another to stick with me while his heart is pining for someone else? I should be grateful he has released my heart to find someone who will love it wholeheartedly and willingly. If Brad has stuck to Jennifer, he would be miserable and in turn so would Jennifer. And in turn, three people would suffer, Brad, Jennifer and Angelina. Now, all three are happy.
I don't see anything wrong with that.
