Can you count the times when you are happy with the person you love, I am talking amorous love here; or yet being somber or aggravated because of some painful circumstance that occurs along the way in the relationship.
The truth is that, I am scared of commitment - not because I cannot trust myself about loyalty but because the more I fall in-love, the more I become possessive or an attention-seeker from my partner maybe because missing the one you adore is just normal. But I can manage still and able to control this kind of feeling. Just that, this one left some pinch inside.
So now I may ask, how many times should we be hurted before we can obtain happiness. I guess that is obscure. But it is okay. We should remember that investing different emotions in it is a package. So, be ready always for that spice to color your world with happiness or with sadness.

What you're talking about is kind of like 'finding the right path in a garden-maze': you know at-least one path is right and most paths are wrong and--if you have a good guide (who has been through the maze and promises to help you through)--you can go right through on your first try and can thus help the next generation in the same way.
If you don't have a good guide or want to try out different paths, you'll usually make a wrong turn. Though you might 'beat yourself up' over that, you'll go back to where you made your last turn and take another path from there. If that path is wrong too, you'll go back & choose ANOTHER different turn ... or you'll go FURTHER back to take a different path from THAT point.
Eventually you learn that 'it's the journey, not the destination,' and you go to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma where happiness begins and keeps going as long as you wish.

No pain, no gain. No sacrifice, no glory. This is a simple phrase but means a lot in all aspect of human life. There are times that people gain out of nothing but that is not the essence of gaining or attaining success in a person's life. Even in failure you find happiness if you've done the best for pursue your objective. So life is really not about success alone. Maybe we have to find the equilibrium where there is a state of balance between being happy and enduring pain.
