I watched a movie the other day, and it was about two different couples. Both couples were fine until one of them begin to date the other. I looked at this woman with pain in her eyes, and I pondered. I pondered a while. Seeing the destruction and the devistation in her eyes. I also saw how the choices and decisions that both parties made, in those relationships and how it affected each individual person. Sometimes people do not realize that the choices and decisions they make effects, and can have long lasting effects on each individual. One couple decided to leave their spouses for the other, and it was horrible. Eventually, one of the spouses found a way to get the other one back, by manipulation tactics. The other one went back to his lady. Afterwards, there was a change when they begin to argue. She responded," I don't love you anymore." The guy was losing it, he didn't know what else to do, so they kept arguing. He asked her, " Who are you." She said, " I'm nobody." Then, he slapped her. The next scene was her leaving him. Then, the very last thing he saw, as he was walking from a university, was a plaque with her name on it for rescuing 3 kids from a fire. He stood there in shock and regret, with this pitiful, painful, sullen look on his face. You could see the lady walking in so much confidence while other men stared. Such a haunting ending. Sometimes we do not know who is in our midst and we do not know their full value, until they are gone.
