From Zen
This pain is not to make you sad, remember. That's where people go on missing... This pain is just to make you more alert--because people become alert only when the arrow goes deep into their heart and wounds them. Otherwise they don't become alert. When life is easy, comfortable, convenient, who cares? Who bothers to become alert? When a friend dies, there is a possibility. When your woman leaves you alone--those dark nights, you are lonely. You have loved that woman so much and you have staked all, and then suddenly one day she is gone. Crying in your loneliness, those are the occasions when, if you use them, you can become aware. The arrow is hurting: it can be used. The pain is not to make you miserable, the pain is to make you more aware! And when you are aware, misery disappears.

So you are waiting for Mr. Right to come riding on a white horse and take you away? stated the wise one.
Said I, Oh! so that was Mr. Right who had come on the horse and was talking some gibberish about sweeping me off my feet and taking me to some far away land. Well I reported him to PETA. What was he thinking riding the poor horse on the busy roads of Mumbai.
The wise one gave me a pitying look.
