EVER TRIED IT? Have you tried quenching the fire but got burned? Have you tried being a troubleshooter but turned out a troublemaker? Have you tried being a protagonist but turned out the villain? Have you tried being helpful but ended up making things worse? Have you tried sympathising but ended up the sympathised? Have you tried killing loneliness by finding company but turned out lonelier? Tried being a friend but turned out the enemy? Ever tried it? Life is an irony; a paradox. What we set out to do does not always guarantee the outcome we desire. This also relates to our dreams, goals and ambitions. There were times we wanted to be computer programmers but ended up working in banks. Sometimes, it's for our good that the outcome of our intentions are contrary to our expectations. Other times, it doesn't favour us- I wouldn't say it's for bad. In all these things, there's something to learn: how to do it better next time; what/who to stay away from; on what aspects of that thing or person you should exert your energy. If you've ever tried anything that didn't turn out positive, take this message from the results and consequences: change your approach, or ditch it if it's not worth it. Don't sit back in regret and watch your life fold up like a sheet of paper before your eyes. It's happened already. So, move on. Try better or try something else.
