Ramblings
Monday, July 23rd, 2007I haven’t been updating this blog for quite some time. Man, I didn’t know what I wrote can actually spark so much controversy! I even have hate mail. Haha. I really don’t know what else to write here, because each time an idea comes to me, I don’t know how everyone who reads it will respond. I didn’t know how much controversy can actually come out of an entry, that simply stemmed out of frustration at the very moment. Trust me, I don’t worry about the world all the time. It’s just that out of a stir of the moment, my mind begins to take me to places, one thought leads to another, and a great big idea is born. Most of the time, the idea ends up in ‘SAVE THE WORLD!!’ (=_="…*sweats*) Might be too much for some to handle. Sorry people, I’m just being me.
One thing to clarify though, I’m not suggesting that being a Christian means I’m "holier than thou". I’m not better than any of you out there. I don’t smell better, act better, or live without any cares in the world, just because I’m a Christian. The difference is that I look to someone greater and bigger than I am, Jesus, and believe that He’s God. And when I believe in God, I give my problems, worries and even future plans to Him. When I am in trouble, the problem is still there, I encounter the very same worries you have. But I have God to look to, and have hope. I have found hope because I have God. That’s it! That’s the difference, put in very simple terms.
One more thing I believe is that all of us are special. Each of us are born with different talents and gifts. For example, I can study very well, but I’m crap at drawing. Someone else has the talent in drawing and painting, but perhaps cannot do as excellent in his/her studies. Now here’s the flaw. The system of, not to say the world, but maybe in Malaysia’s education system, is that people who do well in their studies are looked upon very highly. They are the ones who get scholarships, teachers and parents’ favour, and even the society. But what about the person who can paint well? It’s a talent too! An amazing talent, in fact. If you’ve travelled to Europe, you would’ve seen the sculptures, paintings, frescos that grace the buildings. So my point is, we are all of much value. Even if the people or society we live in doesn’t appreciate what we can do, we’re still very valueble. Just imagine, if all humans are made to be intellectual, what a boring world this is going to be! There will be technology, but no art, no entertainment, no music. We’ll have a television but no programmes to watch. The conclusion is, we’re all special in our very own way. Never look down on yourself just because you don’t have a talent your friend has. Don’t ever undervalue yourself because you’re worth so so much. The world will never be the same without you being in it. I like to see it as this, we’re all like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. All of us are different in shapes and sizes. Some are bigger, some are smaller, some form the corners, some in the middle. But in the end, if any piece of the puzzle goes missing, the whole picture will not be complete.
*disclaimer-the examples used are only EXAMPLES! I’m not suggesting that one talent is better than the other.*
So that’s about it this time! Interesting how I started off without anything to write for this entry. Keke. So, think think, anymore disclaimers to add? Not for now. Oh, I forgot that I actually disallowed all comments for my last post. Will change it back.
