Enduring Mind
By peace | September 18, 2007
Sorrows are hard to swallow. Sorrows make my heartache and my chest pains. I endure. Perhaps this is part of life’s learning, something which God wants me to learn again.
As I was taking my whole pile of laundry clothes to the washing machine, a thought came to my mind. Can I have everything? No, obviously no. I never expect more. I just want a normal, peaceful and happy life. Not wealth, not status and not fame.
Is this a cause for a laughing stock? A call for mockery? You can say what you want. You can despise me, you can have all free will not to come to me. For being able to cope with the demands of every day life, I am already contented. Not all people have the same upbringing and same life as the fortunate people. Even though I do not have a glamourous life, I do not disrespect elders. I am kind in words to anyone. However, all these have limits. Being meek does not mean that you can treat them as door mat. For being patient and kind, some people have taken advantage of you. They might belittle you thinking that you are just ‘nothing’.
Is that how you treat people? You judge people according to their possession? You stay in expensive house, you hold high posts, you earn high salary, you have all the Cs, and the Ms — money and maid, but what are your imperfections?
I had reached my limit today. I have had enough. I feel like quitting.
What’s wrong with me? What goes in must come out. Bottling all these grievances is hard. Who can I do? I can only write to heal.
