As, in the song ‘This Time’, that he wrote for the movie August Rush (go watch it, you’re welcome), Jonathan Rhys Meyers crooned,

Would the wind be at my back?
Could I get you off my mind
This time?

Do not resign yourselves to the world as we know it. As Faiz Ahmed Faiz said, “Chale chalo ki woh manzil abhi nahin aayi; jhoote hain log jo dete hain aasra tum ko — Keep going, for the destination is yet to come; deceitful are they, the ones who promise you refuge.”
