PEOPLE WHO ARE TAKEN

Got this email from a friend... worth sharing.

PEOPLE WHO ARE TAKEN
are moreinteresting most of the time, right? And I’ve been battling whetherit’s because they’re really interesting, or it’s a thrill for them totake notice of us.
Recently, I heardfrom a friend that she got to talk to her "one-who-got-away" and theyfinally admitted how much they feel for each other. Problem is…he’salready married.
But is it a problem, really? Or just a problem created by the society?
When I wasyounger, and very much trapped in the dictates of the Society, I wouldcarelessly call those who become causes of breakups sluts, whores. Seehow much bias there is? What do you call guys who cause breakups?Nothing. Nada.
But now that I’molder, and more exposed to others’ experiences, I have come to realizethat it’s not easy to be the "cause". Nobody wants to be called a slut,or whore, after all. In most cases, these people are the ones those ina relationship meet too late, or the ones they call their unfinishedbusiness.
And these"causes" have feelings, too. Name-calling to swallow, loved ones tosacrifice. But love is just so powerful it allows them to hold on. Holdon to a feeling they’re not sure will be reciprocated by the other.
It’s so easy tothink negative of them, but until you’ve experienced it yourself, orsomeone close to you experiences it, you can never really understandthe situation. You’ll never understand how hard it is to resisttemptation even though you do not intend to hurt others. How hard it isto stop communication long after you should have. How hard it is not tothink of that special someone, and how happy you guys would have been.
Sure we may arguehere that the taken is stupid if he left an unfinished business. Butit’s not that easy, really. Sometimes, they have to be practical.Sometimes, they have to play it safe. But practicality and love are noton the same level. That person may be selfish for pursuing his/herfeelings towards someone who’s not his current partner, but isn’t ithuman nature to be weak? We are all weak at certain times, and his/heronly fault is that s/he gave in to a weakness considered evil by mostpeople.
Life is reallyuncertain. Sometimes, we think we are so in love with somebody andlater on find out that we’re in love with someone else. Andcommitment and convenience are the very reasons why it’s hard for us tolet go.
It’s true we havea price we have to pay for every decision we make. It’s true we have tolearn how to control ourselves and practice the art of being just. Butwhen it comes to feelings, to strong emotions, is there such a thing asbeing FAIR?

I.M.P.oV.

I think its a matter of doin what is right..no one is to be blame, we all have feelings, and sometimes it rules over us.. I mean evryone has his/her own decision to make whether if its wrong or right & even if you tell the person what's the right thing to do, they would still do what they think is right-that's their "free will"...just my POV.
