Tiring day it was today. I was kept busy, not for my own work, but everyone else's. I learnt many new things today too. It's scary how when God speaks, the revelation just wheels in more truth into your heart than what you've ever known. There have been specific people, specific areas of my life, specific things I hold on too that I have always thought to be good. Yet today, God revealed to me that the worst enemy of what's best, is what's good and He started showing me all of them one by one.
Uncle Hong Teck shared with me another wonderful news today - that Ghandi was shy too so it meant that people like us have got hope and I rejoiced with him. Then he said I, like Ghandi, will change the world someday. Aloysius, at the interview today, was asked what his x-factor was. He replied that while others live to earn the buckaroos and strive to make their way to the top, he lives to change lives. They both inspired me today.
Of late, I have accidentally discovered things about many people around me which was never communicated to me directly. It saddens me and I wonder if it was truly their fault, and not mine. If I said I really wanted to listen, why wouldn't anyone believe me?
It’s not that we’ve run out of things to say, but it’s the exact opposite instead. Having too much to say but saying nothing at all is infinitely sadder but probably more real. When people say “there’s nothing to say” or “there are no words left” they don’t actually mean they have nothing that they want to express—most of the time they mean that what’s inside and hiding is too big and too real, too entangled already to try to arrange neatly into lines of words, one before the next, each waiting to be misunderstood.
Open rebuke is better
than love carefully concealed.
Faithful are the wounds of a friend.
