What would you do?
Category: Relations, Walk of life
In choosing life-partners:
Would you rather be happy and live almost comfortably (or not at all) with a potential threat to your happiness - a happiness that may be ruined because you can’t make ends meet… or live pretty comfortably not having to worry about making ends meet and only hope that one day you’ll find that happiness even though you might not at all?
Would you live and hope that by following your heart, you’ll be able to find a way and work together to make a living, hoping to protect that happiness? Or hope that by following reason and logic, you’ll eventually learn to love the person you’ve chosen to spend the rest of your life with?

I’m helping a friend make a decision.
The answer may seem obvious - I know exactly what I would do - but in reality it proves to be harder than it should be. The mind keeps pushing logic that the heart continues to deny. Even harder when the relationship is at its early stages: where the feelings don’t run as deep but you’re running short of time, pressured by family ties to make a decision.
If you were in that position, how would you reason and decide?

No one can be sure if a relationship can stay strong and happy forever. It might and it might not. Or if your partner would change to be better or worse, or even someone you doesn’t recognise anymore.. It might and it might not.
Just like what my mum said, every relationship is a bet. Either you go for it and accept all kind of possibilities, or you don’t at all.
