We were going for glass half-full or half-empty with this one. If you send in a happy quote, then maybe that’s what you are. If you send in a sad quote, maybe that’s your zone at the moment. Many people texted that day saying they got a bit confused. They didn’t know whether to be happy or sad. Besides, it’s just different sides of the same coin.

# Cheryll – “When love is short, forgetting is long.”
i think this is a rephrasing of pablo neruda’s line ‘estan corto el amor, y estan largo el olvido’ (loving is so short, forgetting is so long) from the poem “puedo escriber las versos mas tristes esta noche” (tonight, i can write the saddest lines).
i’ve know this for almost eight years now but Cehryll gave it another meaning/level by adding “when.” now, the line from the poem is clearer and i SO can relate to it.
nice post, pero mas marami atang saddest quotes compared to happiest ones.
ooops it should be “puedo escriber los versos mas tristes esta noche.”

“Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.”–Can someone please elaborate? I can’t quite grasp the meaning. Thank you!
I take it this means that whoever gives you happiness is someone that used to give you sadness because he/she is not yours. But then, when “unmasked” meaning, revealed that he/she reciprocates how you feel, then he/she is your happiness.
I think. =)
it’s like you can’t experience joy without having experienced sorrow. so you find your joy after you unmask your sorrow.
nice post. i remember listening to this on air and some of the entries really got me thinking. hay naku, ang gagaling talaga ng mga rusher!
Brilliant entries!
