Disappointments

How much / many disappointments can one take in a lifetime? Or rather, what is the rate and concentration that one can withstand disappointments? be it from yourself or from an external source.

What if you find that your days are dripping away, like a leaking tap, with them? What if the water source from this leaking tap is a limited amount? Now, not only the leaking tap would be a problem, but also the surface it drips to. What if this surface is not strong and will slowly, chronically, progressively and painfully corrode away?

How do we solve this simple complex matter? Who/which party will be willing to solve or compromise? The tap? the water source? the surface? Any others?

And it drips, as we speak.
