Caveat: 벌인 춤이다
Here is an aphorism from my book of Korean aphorisms.
벌인 춤이다
beol.in chum.i.da
begin-PPART dance-COPULA
[It] is a dance begun.
The dance has already started, therefore it must be completed. Something started with anticipation or hope or pleasure must be carried through even if the initial enthusiasm is lost. Perhaps this is analogous to the fallacy of sunk costs, when “cutting one’s losses” is unthinkable.
Caveat: Poem #1315 “As mountains will do”
ㅁ The mountain was there, watching. It brooded. It wore wooded slopes, slanting, all whiting.
