One day a woman met a man. Looking at him, she thought: “Whether he’s good or bad, I’ll only find out when we’re close... But then I’ll get used to it. And if he’s good, then I’ll be afraid to lose him, and if he’s bad, then I’ll be afraid to live next to him... No, I won’t tempt fate. Let him declare his desires himself. I’ll wait...”
While she was thinking like this, the man looked at her.
“Attractive...” he thought. - “But what is she like in bed? I will find out if she goes to bed with me... But if she is good, then I can fall in love and lose my head... And then she will push me around. And if she is bad, then she will not leave me alone and will annoy me... No, I will wait. Let her be the first to show everything that is in her. And then I will see what she is like and decide how I should be.”
So they both looked at each other, each thinking about his own, but, in general, about the same thing. The man went his way, the woman hers. They missed each other and their feelings, their relationship, whatever it was, did not take place.
And only those who do not think about their fears will not pass by. He knows that everything that is lost cannot be returned. That today is all he has... And that if everything is joyful today, then tomorrow will be the same. And how many of them are there, such men and women, who indulged in thoughts and missed out on their happiness and their love? Only because they were afraid of something, were wary of something, or did not want to take risks...
