		<description>We all have ups and downs in life. But no matter what we do, the most important is to make sure you happy with it.

&lt;font color=#590000&gt;CC: Yup, ultimately, we shape most part of it. :)&lt;/font&gt;</description>

		<description>Finally! I can view your pics at work! It&#039;s okay to blog about our sorrows rather than keeping everything to ourselves. I love what you wrote! Love your pics too. ;)

&lt;font color=#590000&gt;CC: &lt;em&gt;Yippee&lt;/em&gt;! Hope to see you more often then! :)&lt;/font&gt;</description>

		<description>It is said that everything in this world is predestined. IMHO, it is true. But we still control our own destiny. But other times, all we can do is watch in vain...it&#039;s part and parcels of life. And I must say that there are certainly a lot of things in our life that is far beyond our circle of influence. So do am I still the master of my own destiny? Yes.

Great photo. Depicts a lone ranger in a vast opening. I would be darn lonely if I&#039;m living in that house.

&lt;font color=#590000&gt;CC: I agree. That&#039;s actually an empty house sitting on a hill by a main road. It&#039;s been classified as a heritage building and can&#039;t be demolished. It&#039;s sitting on a premier land in a highly sought after area. The owner has no choice but to continue paying maintenance for it. It looks rather sad at it&#039;s current state. I often stroll by and think of the glorious day it once had.&lt;/font&gt;</description>

		<description>no bleak moments. just moments. as it is. :-)

love your photo! gosh, the color blue. love it!

&lt;font color=#590000&gt;CC: That blue color is quite special, haven&#039;t seen that for quite some time. Perhaps an indication of the spring weather. :)&lt;/font&gt;</description>

		<description>Sorrow allows you to express yourself and write beautiful poems like this.

&lt;font color=#590000&gt;CC: That quite true. I tend to be more expressive when I&#039;m in a melancholy mood.&lt;/font&gt;</description>

		<description>I choose to look forward. No point wallowing in sorrow.

&lt;font color=#590000&gt;CC: Embracing sorrow doesn&#039;t mean wallowing in it, but rather accepting it as part of growing up, an experience in life.&lt;/font&gt;</description>

		<description>embrace life: be it happy or sad. 

again, ur title reminded me of SL: chik mok lau sing guan. (lonely meteor)...

When we say we are the owners of our destiny,
does it include those bleak moments in life?

my answer is yes to both! 

but then we cant control our emotions, they just pop up anytime, anywhere.

&lt;font color=#590000&gt;CC: You&#039;re really her super fan! ;) I think we should embrace our emotions rather than trying so hard to control it.&lt;/font&gt;</description>

		<description>I agree with you that we should embrace all those sorrow moment. We learn from it, so that we can have a happy and better future.

&lt;font color=#590000&gt;CC: Glad you do. I believe everything happen for a reason. Good or bad, we all walk away with enlightenment.&lt;/font&gt;</description>

		<description>We own it, our life.  Be it great or bleak, it is our own decision made/to make and it is how we got here.  Always remember, it could have been worst than where we are now.

Nice pic, very calming.....

		<description>that is so very true.

running away never solves anything, but only creates a feeling of regret later.

sooner or later, we all have to face up to our demons and learn to exorcise them before we can truly move on in our lives...

&lt;font color=#590000&gt;CC: It&#039;s not an easy task, I&#039;m still learning.&lt;/font&gt;</description>

		<description>Throughout our lives, we all experience times of darkness and times of light. Though the joyful times are a pleasure to go through, we may wish away the sadness and depression. Without our sorrowful moments, though, we would not be fully human. Our sad times teach us about ourselves, revealing our inner reserves of resilience and strength.

Sorrow is part of being human.

&lt;font color=#590000&gt;CC: Strangely, those seemingly bleak moments do turn into fond memories as time goes by. Those are the moments we will remember, not for its sorrow, but the good things we take away from it.&lt;/font&gt;</description>

		<description>Like Simple Ales said, if we don&#039;t know sorrow, how do we experience joy? Sorrow is part of human life, and although there are things we cannot control, we learn to go with the flow. When we do not fight but instead,let things to just be, we can find happiness within us. Very nice poem! Love the &quot;melancholy&quot; feelings reading it!

&lt;font color=#590000&gt;CC: Thanks. Just like ying and yang, the balance of life. :)&lt;/font&gt;</description>

		<description>Without sorrow it makes one a lesser human devoid of compassion and empathy. Sometimes one has to bleed a little to be reminded of what it is to be human.

		<description>Nice picture.  Well, better express sorrow rather than keep it all inside :)  If not who knows what might happen :)

&lt;font color=#590000&gt;CC: Thanks. Yup, it&#039;s important to find an outlet to express ourselves.&lt;/font&gt;</description>

		<description>hopes! what&#039;s done is done, there&#039;s no point lingering and regretting about it..it is..indeed..the past

=)

and very true, if there&#039;s no sorrow, how can we learn to feel joy? ^^

&lt;font color=#590000&gt;CC: Sorrow is like an ugly scar, it reminds us the turbulence we&#039;ve been through and teach use to appreciate what we have. :)&lt;/font&gt;</description>

		<description>I agree with you, cc. Even though we&#039;re the owners of our destiny, there are certain things that we cannot control, yet we have to face them to make things better, rather than just let things happen and go worse.

&lt;font color=#590000&gt;CC: Good to know you agree. :)&lt;/font&gt;</description>
