"do you think that everyone deserves second chances?" i asked.

"yes."

i frowend at his answer and it made me curious. yes. some deserve a second chance. but everyone?

i looked up to see his face. my head was laying on his chest so i could hear his heartbeat, his heartbeat was comforting to listen to.

"why?"

"everyone needs a taste of grace. i know it sounds foolish but they need it. life is all about forgiveness. they could change and if they don't, still never give up on them. no one walks on this earth without getting hurt.

okay, ethan is a deep person and i like it. it's funny that we just met and we're talking about life and its mysteries. his answer made me think about my perspective on life also. was i too hurt that i didn't see this side of life? suddenly, another question popped up.

"do you know the quote, 'don't cross oceans for people who wouldn't cross a puddle for you' ?"

"yup. why?"

"do you belive in that quote?"

"no."

once again, i was surprised with his answer. why didn't he belive in that quote?

"why?"

"you just have to do it. cross the ocean for them. no conditions attached. don't even think whether they're worthy or not. cross the ocean. climb mountains. love and life is not about what you gain, it's what you give. when you love all people, you don't even think about what you gain. you just give, give and give. life is also about loving.

loving and forgiving

"i should take you home. it's getting late," he said as he sat up and so did i.

i must admit it was a night spent well. we arrived at my house and before he left, he kissed the top of my head and bid me goodbye.

a night that i will never forget.
