To me life is not a bed of roses, not anymore. I have finally grown up and be an adult or in the process of becoming one.
Teenage years, have passed by very quickly as if I have boarded a speed train. And now, finally free from the naggings of teachers in schools, I have now arrived in the university. University, was at first a really nice place for me, I have met amazing people and we became really close friends. Freedom was also observed in university where we can go anywhere we want to without our parents watch. I personally am a very sheltered person, I don't really go out at first even though now I have the opportunity to do so but eventually I went too.
Exploring friendship is what I want to do first in this place and at the same time preparing myself for the 'Big, Bad' world outside(I've learnt that while working for my parents after being yelled at by one of their client). Mom told me, this, that I can still remember until this very day, 'No one in this world loves you more than us. This world is bad, cruel, only we, are true to you'. Instantly, tears welled up my eyes.
I have just recently attended an Easter Event in my university and the pastor talked about the start of human life. Way back to the time of Adam and Eve, the world was peaceful until Eve took the fruit of knowledge as I was informed. At that moment, I just wondered how this world have become so sick and so sinful after all these years. From my point of view, I am just trying to ask this question of why people would do something in their favor without the consideration of others? For instance, betraying others for their own good, or dirty tactics at work places. These are all against the teaching of all religions and our own consciousness, even if you do not have a religion, but I guess you were taught at home or even school (moral lessons!). How would it feels when someone, probably your close friend, or someone you can trust, betrays you in the first place? That brings us to the 'Golden Rule' of Immanuel Kant.
I have received Jesus into my life recently and He has done me some good. I have someone to talk to when I am facing obstacles. The Lord has shed light on my path and guided me on this journey called life. Recently, an incident happened and has been bothering me to the level of disrupting my daily activities. I pray to Lord to ask Him to give me peace. I heard voices in my brain when I am trying to study for my Algebra test next week and I just can't stop thinking about the thing that just happened. Frustrated, I played some music on my phone and here comes Bruno Mar's song, called "The Other Side". The main point here is the lyrics 'it's better if you don't understand" kept repeating, from that time I knew, Lord himself answered my prayers. He told me to not think too much of the incident and move on with my life.
Lastly, I end my post with this gospel quote which I find it very meaningful.
"May Lord show favor towards you and give you peace."(Number 6:26)
Amen.
