Paparazzi

Everybody might have heard of paparazzi, but have you ever been snapped by paparazzi? Yes, I have. That just happened this Sunday.

  I went out for dinner with my good friend. We’ve known each other well since we were in high school. When we sit down and was going to order food, he saw his classmates sitting besides us, so he said hello to them. There were four of them, two men and two women. After that, I heard them whispering and giggling unkindly, “HAHA, being caught red handed by me, huh?” The man (or maybe I should call him “boy”?) stood up and walked to this next table, “What are you laughing at? I just want to take a piece of tissue!” he said. After doing that, taking the tissue, I mean, he turned around slowly, walked back, and sit at his original place. Maybe he thought that only they knew what had happened, but I DID SEE EVERYTHING. I saw him turning around with his cell phone in his hand, and the camera lens was aiming at me and my friend. After his sat down, “Let us see that!” two girls even said.

  My friend asked me whether I would care about it or not. I answered that I’m not angry at them; I just think they are childish and boring. And I’m a little bit worried that they might make up rumor about him in their department, especially while recently something depressing occurred to him. He said there’s no need to worry about him. To me, my boyfriend knows that this guy is my good friend, just like brother and sister, so, that’s fine. I’m wondering what they want to do with those photos. Post on Facebook? Show them to the girl who likes my friend?

Actually, I don’t know what common should I give on this thing and those people.

To lie, or not to lie?

Imagine this, one day, unfortunately, you found out that you only have one year or even less to live, what would you do to your beloved boyfriend or girlfriend? Would you tell the truth, or lie to him or her?

People who chose to lie might think that, in this way, their lover could start their new life happily, instead of being stuck with them. They think that it would be the best decision to both of the couples, though it might be hurtful and heartbreaking. But, every time I read this kind of romance novels, I always hate people who lie to their lover. When you invent a story like you have fallen in love with somebody else and you cannot put up with him or her any longer in order to make them leave, you not only hurt the people you love, but also destroy their self-confidence, and it may ruin their belief in love.

In my opinion, you cannot deprive your lover’s right of knowing the truth of your health condition if you really love each other. You should discuss the issue together, and find the solution together. Maybe you would die, but it would be worse to make two of you lonely and empty and one of you even think the reason you broke up is all his or her fault. To me, I would like to accompany my beloved until the end of his life. 
  Of course, I hope this kind of thing will never occur to anyone around us. : )
