A Litter

Yesterday's wind blew quite strong. Although there was sun, the winner was the wind still. This make me to bring out this quote: The fact that you can see sunshine doesn't mean that it is always hot outside.

I walked with my friends on the pavement, we had a chat with each other. On the path that we walked, I saw a litter. I picked it up with the intention to throw it to the nearby dustbin. The place where it should be. While I am looking for one, suddenly the strong wind blew away the litter in my hand.

The litter follow the blowing of the wind far and far away that I could not catch it back. Although I try to catch it , the wind brought the litter even far away from me. What a strong wind

This incident brought me to think something…
Can you think anything?

First, how can I easily pick up the litter and how can I easily lose it in just seconds.
The strong wind blew the litter away because I did not hold the litter tightly.
because it is just a litter...

You can lose something easily if you do not hold it tightly.. Can you see..

This is what I think:

At first, it is easy for you to attach to someone once you meet a person.
Your intention is good that is to bring the person to the way that you know will be the right way.
But suddenly, the person somehow when away from you, since you do not hold her tightly, following the way that she shouldn’t follow, the way that you know that is not right for her..

Like the strong wind that blew the litter away, the same strong wind had also taken her far away. You try to catch her back, but the strong wind brings her even far. The closer you come to her, you'll never reach her, since the wind is stronger.

I lose with the wind.

How can I win the wind?

My first grip should be strong. Strong enough that could fight the power of the wind.

It is still not too late now. As long as I never give up. No matter how strong the wind is, at one moment it will stop blowing. And there's a chance for me to pick up the litter and bring it to its right place. Just like how I can hold the person back to show her the right way.

I'm not comparing a person with a litter. It is just the way I see it.
Do not merely look at the litter, but rather focus on the subject...
