a gentle thunder it's one thing to suffer for doing wrong. something else entirely to suffer for doing right. but it happens. and when the storm burts, it washes away the naive assumption that if i do right, i will never suffer.
just ask the faithful couple whose crib is empty and whose womb is barren.
just ask the businessman whose honest work was rewarded with a runaway inflation.
just ask the student who took a stand for the truth and got mocked, the Sunday school teacher who took a class and got tired, the husband who took a chance and frogave his wife, only to be betrayed again.
just ask me.
well.. uncle kim was telling me about how his 14month old grandson was already attending six classes a week. art, swimming, music, photographic memory... FOURTEEN MONTH!! thats not even as long as my ns life! sigh.. he was also saying that he's been trying to get his daughter to tone down on all the crazy lessons.. but as usual, the excuses she would give was that everyone else's child was doing it. its becoming a mad life i know.. but do spare the kids man. childhood is just like every other second of our lives, you only live it once.
was at kino with the moody kinda of book-in feeling.. stepped out and guess what i saw.. a christmas tree. a christmas tree! Heeuge tree. the green, the red, the gold.. and before you know it, what do you know.. i was smiling again :)
