In the past 2 years of my absence from my blog, i've found new strength and discovered myself. Now that i'm back, i guess i have alot to update. so let's do it one at a time. this entry will be about faith.
how many times have we believed but ended up disappointed by the results? LOTS!
how many times have we been disappointed and discouraged but still we kept on going at it? LOTS!!
and how many times have we hoped for a different result even though we know deep inside it's not gonna change? LOTS!!!
all in the name of faith. we believe one day a miracle will happen on us and we end up getting what we want.
i've been after this girl for almost a year, and i've been rejected alot of times. In the end we did got together, but it lasted for only 3 months. It was faith that kept me going, pursuing what i thought was my happinese. but my friends, i did not regret spending that one year of my life on her, cos it was during that period of time i was doing something that i was really happy about. some said this is a waste of time. if things did not go your way, MOVE ON DUDE! but hey, it is this very act of pursuit of happinese that i believed is making me happy.
i got a friend, changkwang. he is a stout buddhist. he has a girlfriend, who is a muslim indian. both of them had been together for the past 7 years. but recently he told they are gonna break up soon, because of the differences in religion practice. so i posed a question to him. it is very hard for a muslim to relinquish her religion and convert to another religion, plus he is a strong believer, if he had seen it coming that it is gonna end, why hold on for 7 years? The answer he gave me. we both love each other alot, and we've hoped for a miracle. a miracle that one of us might convert, but it never came. so we both agreed after waiting for 7 years, it is time to let go.
the power of faith is so strong. what i really want to say is don't be discouraged by the bleak future. if u're happy doing something not worthwhile, go ahead be a spoilt brat and do something stupid for once. And if your miracle don't come, so what?! hey you've tong4 tong4 kuai4 kuai4 lived your life. Now let's pray.
I pray that this faith that you've given us is a blessing which will keep us on the right track towards our goal. And that even though the outcome is different, we will bear in mind that we had enjoyed this process of pursuing our happinese. Even if given an easier alternative, it is because of this faith that we did not stray. Which when we looked back at ourselves, we will see that we had once stayed true to ourselves and lived a life with no regret. Amen.
