A Day to Remember
Today is indeed a day to remember. First, I found out that Heath Ledger, the young and promising actor, has just passed away. The cause is still unknown but that is not the point. It really hit me as I realised that life is so short and vulnerable. It got me seriously thinking of how precious life is and how much more I should make full use of it.
Today, I also confirmed my suspicion of a friend being gay. She has such high level of self awareness and love for others, plus she is also intelligent, and also a strong believer of the same faith as me. It was sad to know that she had chosen to go against the faith, as it is stated explicitly in the bible that gayism just isnt right. She has her reasons for thinking otherwise. I'd love to hear more about how she came to her conclusions rather than 'condemn' her straightaway. Anyhow, I just felt sad upon hearing this.
I was also in 2 appts with my mentor today, back to back at Novena. Although the 2 pple we met were present for different reasons, the message to them was similar. It was to be more self-aware. Firstly, know who we truly are, and secondly, to fully accept who we are. It sounds simple enough, but many pple dont even get pass the first part. Needless to say, many do not accept who they truly are, and therefore, lead flat, unfocused and unfulfilled lives. I was very enlightened by my mentor who did most of the talking. Respect, brudder!
SO ya, tis a very eventful day. Many things to ponder upon.
Well, the world may be a sad place, but it is truly inspiring to have pple like my mentor and other leaders ard to pull us up, to keep the hope and faith alive. I thank God for putting them in my midst. =)
