In the end, we still missed it

Thread Content

Fish know when the water is warm or cold; spring cares not as flowers bloom and wither. Summer has arrived, and only then did we think of picking flowers, but we have already missed the flowering season ； The car started moving, and only then did we arrive late ； When the person we long for is right in front of us, we foolishly let them pass by... We miss the perfect time to act, miss the opportunity to set off, and miss that beloved person... How many things do we miss in life! 　　We agreed to cherish it, we knew we had to seize the opportunity – so why do we keep missing it over and over again? The longer one lives, the more things are missed; life is truly a series of regrets. Yet, it is through missed opportunities that we are tempered and learn to grow; who can refuse missed chances? Who says what’s missed is completely useless? We didn’t miss it; perhaps we just don’t know how to cherish it ； We don’t want to miss it; perhaps that’s why we don’t want to let life slip through our fingers so easily… We don’t want to miss it because we’ve missed it before. 　　The feeling of missing something is regretful and painful, yet the lessons learned from those mistakes are things worth remembering and drawing from; perhaps this is why people always try not to make mistakes yet still make them frequently! 　　That’s how people are; when the mistake lies with someone else, it never hurts one’s own heart. Regarding the pain of others, we often offer superficial advice; only those who have experienced it themselves can understand its true depth. Everyone who has missed something probably feels this way! 　　As we grow up, we need the help of others, but no one can assist us throughout our entire lives. We must take charge of our own lives and get back up wherever we fall. Missings bring us pain, but they also bring us maturity. In the affairs of this world, what is there to be right or wrong about? 　　Missing something doesn’t mean losing it forever; if you miss the stars, there’s still the moon, and even the sun ； If you miss the spring flowers, there are still the summer lotuses, autumn chrysanthemums, and even winter plums ； Having missed our innocent childhood and adolescence, we still have our increasingly mature youth, middle age, and even old age! The ancients said, “What is lost in the east can be gained in the west.” Who can say that mistakes are things best left in the past? 　　Optimism is an unwavering attitude in our lives. Don’t want to miss it, but it’s inevitable to miss it ； Mistakes are allowed, but the same mistake must not be made again. If even horses can stumble, how can humans be free from mistakes? What is missed is not necessarily the best; the best should not be missed. 　　Often, we are heartbroken over what we have missed ； Often, we dwell on what we have missed, but what’s the use of that? Since mistakes are inevitable, let’s minimize them! 　　\"Missed\" is a saxophone piece that evokes sadness and nostalgia! The people and things you missed are opportunities for others to encounter ； Others miss it, and then you get the chance to have it. Everyone makes mistakes; what truly belongs to you will never be lost. As the American writer Jane Gilbertson said: If you desire something, you must give it freedom. If it returns, it belongs to you; if it doesn’t return, you will never truly possess it anyway. 　　……
