two hundred eight

i just finished watching a movie called "timer" (highly recommended). it got me thinking.. if i could have a timer implanted on my wrist that would go off when i met "the one", would i want it? sure - it would save the heartache felt when a relationship ends. but would we ever grow as people if we never experienced life in a way that made us learn from our mistakes.. would we ever really learn who we were or what we wanted out of life?

i don't think we would. and though it would be really tempting to get such a device.. i think we'd be so consumed with living for the future that we'd forget how to live for today.
