The One True Thing
Caught a movie on Astro just now called The One True Thing. It starred a great cast consisting of the evergreen Meryl Streep, the versatile Renee Zellweger and the drama heavyweight, William Hurt.
Meryl Streep played a mother that was dying of cancer in a family that's torn apart by internal conflicts, especially with the patriarch of the family.
In one poignant scene, where she was explaining to the daughter (played by Zellweger) of her knowledge of the husband's extra-marital affairs, she said:
" Life can be so good if we choose to be happy and love the people that we have, as opposed to people we imagine, we deserve."
What a powerful line. Makes you think.
I suppose all of us have crossed this point, at least once, in our lives. When you were there, which way did YOU decide to go?

Most of the time, people would think they deserve better and choose that way.
Other people who chose the other way usually have something to loose e.g. security, kids etc.
Then again, people are different and are likely to surprise.
