Words of Wisdom

I've recently become very much a couch potato on weekends as a result of 2 Korean serials that I've been watching. Something I would usually scoff at, but once you're hooked, that's it baby!

The same reason why I stay up till the wee hours when I should be getting some rest in preparation for yet another hectic working week...and the same reason why I've not been out for the past few weekend evenings....we'll see how long this will last...

Anyway, just finished 2 episodes and strangely came across some words of wisdom from this Korean serial that really touches my heart.

Story goes that a young man age 24 is in love with his sister's friend who is 33 and she happens to be dating an established doctor. Knowing that the young man is in love with his girlfriend, the doctor asks the young man if he can be responsible for the lady.

The young man replies,"Everyone has to be responsible for themselves and when they fall, they need to stand up by themselves and start all over again. No one can be responsible for anyone, therefore I cannot be responsible for her. What I can do is stay by her side and and watch over her and wait with her till she stands up again."

And knowing that the young man is in love with her and has been watching her from afar, the lady thought," When someone watches out for you when you are not looking, the person can see the sides of you that even you yourself do not notice."

Some words of wisdom from the usually soppy Korean drama :)
