Fine, fine line...

Edited: 2/22/05

I saw Avenue Q with Zelda a few weeks ago. I will admit that it was one of the better Broadway shows I've seen, with a very witty and memorable score. So much so, that I even bought the soundtrack on iTunes.

One of the musical numbers was called There's a Fine, Fine Line (audio clip). Even though the show was supposed to be funny, it hit on a lot of deep emotions and ideas.

Here's a snippet from the lyrics:

There's a fine, fine line between a lover and a friend;
There's a fine, fine line between reality and pretend;
And you never know 'til you reach the top if it was worth the uphill climb.

There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.

I guess this is just my thought when people were responding to my post about dating to "see where things go" - you run the risk of it all being for naught.

However, I think if you are enjoying your current time, then it should depend on your perspective whether it was a waste of time when you look back.

For example, if I had an awesome dinner, but later got food poisoning, true, the food poisoning sucked - but the dinner was still awesome. Am I the only one that thinks this way?
