Cherishable, Or Not?

"Cherish the moments," they say, to avoid from losing one of the very few previous people and items in our life. However, as we all know, nothing last forever, except for the plastic bags perhaps? How do we define the word 'cherish' actually? Seriously to make sure everything is the way as it is, till the very end? Once used this particular phrase in one of the essays written, and the comment given was, "Why are the people around no longer the same, when you yourself said you would treasure everyone, and everything precious in life?" It was a misinterpretation, really, since we both are two different individuals, with different mindset. Personally, to treasure is not to maintain the situation as it is, but to cherish the time we had and having with this particular group of friends or person, so there will be no regrets in the future. After all, life is unpredictable, and we never know what coming up next, but one thing for sure, at certain point in life, we would take on a different pathway from our friends and that, is the time where we say goodbye and move on, hoping for the next reunion or the other way round. Certain people like happy endings, some are in favour of the rather heart breaking ones whereas there are those who enjoy the storyline, the company of others in cinema, be it friends or strangers, the memories which are given by that particular day, watching that particular movie. Which one would you be? The happy endings, to have everything the same forever? The heartrending ones, to regret for not taking actions, pursuing the dreams? Or just to enjoy yourself, bringing home the memories, of those who were once dear to you and may still be in the future?
