In high school we had to read the book and than got to enjoy the movie (Russell Wong is one sexy man). The part that struck a cord with me is the scene where the heroine is attending a Chinese New Year meal at her mother’s house she takes the “bad crab” for herself. Her mother later berates her for not going after the best for herself. Without a doubt I can say I never fail to go after the best for myself, however, I’m not willing to do anything to get it. I won’t lie, I won’t steal, I won’t cheat and above all I won’t hurt others in the process. In fact there’s a lot I’m willing to give up in order to help a friend. As I thought on this subject, a couple of people came to mind and it truly upset me to come to the conclusion that I don’t think they can say the same for themselves. I think if given the opportunity they’d not only stab me in the back, they’d proceed to use my body as a stepping stone.
Some disturbing thoughts. Yet again I think it’s time to seriously close some relationship accounts.

I was shocked when somebody read this post and thought it was about them. If you’re reading it and seeing yourself there, maybe it's time you re-thought some of your actions.
