Now does that actually happen, or does it fade off after a few years of staying together?

I imagine it would differ from person to person, but many places do hold a special place in our hearts because something special has happened there. 😳😃😃

Do we ever have enough to quit what we are doing and follow our dreams??? Will a human be ever satisfied and feel he has saved enough for himself/his family, and go pursue his dream???

P.S. Sorry guys, but just trying to clean-up my drafts, so posting all these questions😉

Hmmm, sometimes our circumstances are such that we can't drop everything to follow our dreams. That would make us selfish, wouldn't it. Although, that depends from person to person. It would be much harder if you have responsibilities in your real life that require your attention. It is possible to do both, but not always easy. It is not about being greedy. Would you call your parents greedy because they are earning to secure your future, or to pay for your tution, or to secure they own future (not many kids help out their parents in the monetary position when they need it). See, things are not always as black and white always. 😛 So, to answer the question, it depends on the situation one is in.

How many of us hold on to things with the fear of losing them? Have u ever come across ppl, who overprotect someone and in turn curb the other person's growth as an individual???

On a side note, in "Teen Pyali Chai", Greg has a younger sister who isn't mentally stable...His mom never lets the girl do anything on her own fearing she might hurt herself...but Greg wants her sister to live independently and gets her some job. The mother is scared, but the brother knows that his sister will be able to lead a happy life if she is allowed to do things on her own. My question now, is it justified to be over-protective? Does it help in real sense?

I think a lot of us do that, in many ways; sometimes knowingly and sometimes unknowingly. 😉

It is natural to want to protect someone because we fear we might lose them, but I honestly believe, that whatever has to happen, will come to pass.

Is it good to have an idea - a stupid idea, but better than no idea at all??? Do you believe in "Something is better than nothing!" Have you ever reacted impulsively, or do u always react impulsively??? Is it good to be impulsive or should we ponder over our actions before implementing them???

Well, I plan a LOT. I always have backup plans all the time. Not sure if that's a good thing or not, but it does feel good to know that I have something to go on as compared to a blank. 😳😳😆😆😆

Though, I am not impulsive at all. I hate changes. 😳😳

Have you ever stared into the mirror and demanded straight answers from urself for whats happening in ur life? or ever tried to ask someone else for answers?

Hmmm, sometimes. 😳😳 I have found myself asking myself questions a lot. Though, in the end, I have always found that whatever happened, has always worked out. I think everything that happens, happens for a reason.

We are on the opposite side of the coin here, I am completely impulsive, and my brain works extra hours to come up with instantaneous solutions to everything, though after sometime I realise there was a better way 😆

"But you still want to go," I said, amazed. "I mean, you really think you'll be the one to find Pan?"

"I have to believe that, Percy. Every searcher does. It's the only thing that keeps us from despair
when we look at what humans have done to the world. I have to believe Pan can still be awakened."

I stared at the orange haze of the sky and tried to understand how Grover could pursue a dream that seemed so hopeless. Then again, was I any better?

Will u ever go such a quest knowing that u might not succeed or return back alive?

Like RW ji said, life is a quest and well, we are not going to come back alive, are we. We should make the best of the situation we are in and do the best that we can for others and ourselves. Rest will usually take care of itself. If intentions are true and your heart is in the right place, I believe things have a way of working out in the end. 😳😳😃😃

😆😆😆 It's alright. There always is a better way, but you know, if it works out for you, then it is probably the better choice for you. 😉😃😃

I'm not impulsive at all. I have to think for two days, before I can finally decide to change something in my room. 😆😆😆
