years back, i use to keep a little quote written on a tiny slip of paper in my wallet.
it was a qoute that i stumbled upon in the library and it stuck a cord in me.
so i wrote it down and i kept it.
many years and 2 wallets later,
now i can''t remember the exact words and the sayer of it.
all i remember is the vague gist of the quote
a quote which i've constantly remind myself to follow.
but now, more so than before, i find myself trying to remember.
its vague shadowy outline crucial,
like a lifeline that i'm hanging on to.
for if i've never stumbled onto it,
i figure i would have broken down and gave up on life many times over.
the vague shadowy outline:
one ought to forget immediately what one has given,
but one ought to never forget what one was given.
i might be wrong, so if anyone can help me remember, please do! i would like to remember again.

"This is the law of benefits between men; the one ought to forget at once what he has given, and the other ought never to forget what he has received."--Seneca
