Why?
Why?
On my way to work today, I was contemplating on how life has becoming a mixture of sorts. Happy, sad, ups, downs, miseries and blessings. I am thankful of how things have turned out to be. Sure, things can get pretty hectic and worked up, but still everything falls into its proper place.
So whilst waiting for the light to turn green, I was peering out the window and saw a mum and child sleeping on the pavement. Actually, the mother was sleeping whilst the li'l child wailed on. I'm pretty sure that the mum hears her child's plea, but she can't do anything about it. It breaks my heart to see this kind of suffering especially for a child. How painfully unkind it is for these children to feel the brunt of all miseries and deprivation. I wanted to hand out something to them, but something held me back. Was I being selfish to refuse in giving out what I had? I felt like if I gave it to them, it would end the child's plea for now, yet it doesn't solve the problem. It feels heavy to have that kind of burden knowing I should've done something, yet done nothing at all. The season of Lent indeed has its way of squirming into my head and be thankful for everything that I have and don't have.
*****************
Fate indeed can be very cruel. However, we are the ones that weave our destiny. What we make of early in our lives pave the path to where one is headed. All I can say is Life is hard. Strive hard to achieve our dreams and we will get through.
