Hmmm....A good friend of mine is in a predicament...but I see no available solution for that predicament...or at least, i haven't been able to see a solution...
Which brings me to carpe diem. For those of you who don't know what it means, it more or less means 'seize the day'. Or something like that. However, for this situation, 'seizing' the day would mean that he would be single-handedly destroy everything he hoped for, everything he dreamed of.
You see, he's the type that goes about spouting 'carpe diem'! live life! Do what ya wanna do now, you might not have that 'next time'! You know, that thing people usually say, " see ya next time" or "till next time". What if there's NO next time? For life is fragile, yes? And none of us can foresee the future. At least, my friend and I can't.
So he's stuck in between his principle and his situation. Seizing the day, or chance, would mean that he would be destroying everything. Not seizing it, and he might not have that chance anymore.
Some of you might say : "Then go for it la! Easy!" But I ask you : Would you willingly do something that you know will fail? Will you knowingly go into a bombing zone, or directly in the line of fire? It's like walking into a minefield to play 'Guess where the mine is'. (no offence to minefield victims)
Well, that's all. And no, we still haven't thought up a solution.
