guts, or the lack of it
"About my lack of guts."
"Right. A textbook case. Trust you me, young man. Go after your girl. Life flies by, especially the bit that's worth living. You heard what the priest said. Like a flash."
"She's not my girl."
"Well, then, make her yours before someone else takes her, especially the little tin soldier."
"You talk as if Bea is a trophy."
"No, as if she were a blessing," Fermin corrected. "Look, Daniel. Destiny is usually just around the corner. Like a thief, a hooker, or a lottery vendor: its three most common personifications. But what destiny does not do is home visits. You have to go for it."

Oh yeah ? Is this really true ???
I had always thought that love was something that simply 'happened' to each one of us - no logic, no manipulation, no maneuvouring, no calculation.....or is this only a 'filmi' concept. Everyday, all around me, i see people just 'going for love'. And thats when you begin to doubt yourself and your beliefs and values. Who knows, maybe i am just stupid to wait for things to happen. Probably i should be going out there and making things work. But, thats not something i am not comfortable doing. So, should i be doing it or not ?? Its one of the huge debates i get into in IIMK. All those who have steady love-lives say that you can't be so laid back, and that if you like someone you should go all out and try and 'get' the person before someone else 'snares' her before u do. And i am like - "Things will find their balance" and "If it were to be, it happen anyway", etc. And therein lies the conundrum.
Sometimes its confusing to know where to draw the line between letting things influence you, and just being yourself and believing in yourself.
