Sacrifices for change

Sacrifices are needed for change. It is the difficulty/pain that one has in the current situation that makes the sacrifice doable.

Abstraction & Encapsulation

Abstraction is the process of coining an interface that specifies all the
essential external behavior of an Object for a given client. This
interface is the external contract upon which the object's client depend
on. Abstraction focuses on the external view of an object and serves to
separate an object's behavior from its implementation.

Abstraction is based on concept of invariance - a boolean condition that
should be true at all times. Each method defines pre-conditions
(invariants the method assumes) and post-conditions (invariants that the
method satisfies).

Encapsulation is hiding of the implementation details of an object. An
object's client is not interested in the implementation details as long
as the implementation complies to the external contract.

Abstraction and Encapsulation are complementary concepts. Abstraction
focuses on the external behavior and encapsulation focuses on the
implementation that gives rise to the external behavior.

Choosing a path

Choosing a path meant having to miss out on others. She had a whole life to live, and she was always thinking that, in the future, she might regret the choices she made now.
“I’m afraid of committing myself,” she thought to herself.
She wanted to follow all possible paths and so ended up following none. After her first romantic disappointment, she had never again given herself entirely. She feared pain, loss, and separation.
These things were inevitable on the path to love, and the only way of avoiding them was by deciding not to take that path at all.
In order not to suffer, you had to renounce love. It was like putting out your own eyes not to see the bad things in life.

Ever since time began, people have recognized their true Love by the light in their eyes.

“When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.”

“Don’t bother trying to explain your emotions. Live everything as intensely as you can and keep whatever you felt as a gift from God. The best way to destroy the bridge between the visible and invisible is by trying to explain your emotions.”

“But how will I know who my Soulmate is?” Brida felt that this was one of the most important questions she had ever asked in her life.
“By taking risks” she said to Brida. ‘ By risking failure, disappointment, disillusion, but never ceasing in you search for Love. As long as you keep looking, you will triumph in the end.”

Nothing is completely wrong. Even a broken watch is right twice a day.

BRIDA is the real story of a young girl learning to follow the Tradition of the Moon.
