Loss

Prepare to lose, or possess little to lose?
'You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.What have you lost? Nothing!' -Eric Idle (Monty Python)
Losses ae vicissitudes; to live one's life with a preparedness to lose is exhausting. It is too much of a burden to have this mentality forever switched on. Of course, we should not live in complacency and believe in a naive manner - that what (or really, who) we possess will steadfastly stay by our side.

要等到失去，才懂得珍惜

How many enlightened souls do not commit what is stated above? How many times do we remind ourselves to cherish, but in the end, cry out our woes, for we have not exploit every second we spent with our loved ones; have not professed our love brazenly to them, told them our dreams and fantasies; have not put in our best in life?

What I conclude, is that cherishing is impossible, because taking things for granted is a human instinct. Whereas being prepared to lose, is just a Utopian state of mind in this volatile and unpredictable world of today.
