If I start spending my life mourning for all the people I have loved or cared for in my life but who have left or gone from my life forever... I would never be happy!!
Some people may choose to spend their life this way... I, like many others, prefer to be happy... whats lost can not be regained.. life only moves ahead.. it doesn't move backwards nor does it stand still for anyone.
Every person has the right to be happy. Every person has the right to choose. If someone chooses to curl up in their past and stay there smelling of pity and sorrow and accumulating bitterness in their hearts all their life.. by all means, they should.
But they should best get outta the way of those who want, desire, and who know they can have more from life. Life is continues, it doesn't stop when you die. It continues to live in others. It strives to survive.
I personally believe, holding on to past is foolishness as well as cowardliness.
People come and people go. Nobody is here to stay. Life is not controlled or restrained. It flows on its own merits. People are important. But its important how you carry their memories within you to reach for greater joys, not important that you let yourself be drowned in the memories so much that you aren't able to reach the surface and that no one is able to reach you to help.
No one would want to help you anyway, if you cant help yourself. No one wants to put a stop to their life for a pitiful hurting fellow on their way. No one has that kind of heart these days.
If you give up on life after loosing just one person, you will probably not have many friends. You would be too scared to have any, for the fear you will loose them all one day. Thats not the kind of life
I want. Thats cowardliness.. I would tell them, Dare to Love again!!

I wud just add the following lines:
NOR ENJOYMENT,AND NOT SORROW,
IS R DESTINED END OR WAY,
BUT TO ACT[which suman has done] THAT EACH TOMORROW,
FINDS US FARTHER THAN TODAY.
IN THE WORLD'S BROAD FIELD OF BATTLE,
IN THE BIVOUAC OF LIFE ,
SHE,S NOT BEEN LIKE A DUMB DRIVEN CATTLE,
SHE,S BEEN A HERO IN THE STRIFE.
