UP! – Relationships vs sentimental value

About 2 months ago, Alvin, Gerald, Seow Chean and I caught UP! It was a cute and funny show, yet with a lot of meaning.
image After the movie, I penned down some thoughts for the night:
- Where do we place current relationships in comparison to things of sentimental value which remind us of past relationships?
- Are these memories more important and worth keeping, even at the expense of current relationships?
- Are we willing to “give old things up” for new things to come?
- And how about relationships in comparison to other tasks or things that are important to us?

I used to get upset over non-living things, like when my favourite TV shows didn’t get recorded, and made my whole family unhappy. I don’t anymore, not for TV shows, but there are still some things which I hold on to a little too tightly. I think each of us has. So the next time I face a dilemma, I shall ask myself: What are the things that will last, that are important for eternity? Don’t think it’s easy to always choose the right thing when I don’t feel like it, but ah well, I’ll try :)
