hmm....

It's been some time since i last posted something solid (or did i ever?). Probably i was occupied with a couple of things i guess.

Many things happened around the world as well. As well as poeple around me. We have a couple of shootings, a serious road accident, a case of cancer, a case of critical diabetes, exams, and the list goes on.

I also have some issues of my own too. Been feeling kinda down lately. Not exactly up and running. Work also have been stalled.

Can i conclude that this is a bad week? Can i say that this is one lousy week?

But this is just how we response, isn't it? While some people just can't seem to find a reason to cheer up, maybe i can? Maybe i can smile and hold my head up high, without being a bit Ah Q? You can, yes indeed, in fact, there are a few ways to it.

You can be a "can't-be-bothered" person. As long as these things doesn't happen to ourselves, why care? Who cares anyway?

You can be stupid. Yup, a stupid person couldn't even comprehend, much less feel for it.

You can be a person that sees all these as necessary. Just like a doctor who is helping a patient clean his wounds, the pain that the patient feels is an indication that the medication is indeed being applied at the right spot.

You can also believe that God is in control. And trust that His wisdom is far more greater than ours. And believe that, although we might not make sense of what is happening, but if we have our hope and trust in Him, we can indeed have peace.

I have not posses any of the above. i wish can be in the last category. But at the meantime, we struggle, we press on. Yup, there will be times when we are tired, then we rest. The road of pilgrimage is one bumpy journey, no less difficult.

P.S. i have yet to deal with all the issues i have mentioned at the beginning of this post.
