Giving Up.

The extremes of giving up means suicide, doesn't it? I think that's a soft point that could deserve it's whole own post but it's very controversial and a difficult topic.

Giving up, debately a bad thing but sometimes it could be a good thing for a situation. Giving up and not trying anymore, not going out of your way to make something work or happen even though you still hope it does work out. Giving up means that someone else has to try, put in the effort to make whatever it is work. If it doesn't mean that someone else has to make it work and it it mean to work then that means destiny and fate get involved so that things plan out the way they should.

Should we ever give up on something we want?
I've always strongly believed that you should never give up on your dreams, I definitely never would. I want to go travelling and one day I know I will, I'm determined and I will make sure that I can do everything I possibly can to get me on a plane and around the world. It's a dream, a hope, a plan for the future, therefore something that should't be given up on. It should be considered, taken seriously and something that should be reached for.

Should we give up on other things though? For example, if you like someone, should you give up on them before you know for sure whether or not it's going to happen? You don't know for a fact that nothing is going to happen between you but it seems pretty hopeless and you've got a feeling it's not going to work out the way you might have hoped. Do you give up? Or do you wait until you know for sure that it won't work? Do you start looking for someone else, start trying to get over him OR do you start going completely out of your way to get him interested or to let him know that you like him?
I like the idea of going out of your way to find out whether it is going to happen or not, because it's so romantic, but at the same that's just setting yourself up to get hurt isn't it?

Maybe if I give up on it, fate will come to my side and help me out. I can always hope.

Is there a right answer? I suppose it depends on the situation.
But I just need a sign. Yes or no? Please let this work out... Tell me what to do.
