Being Simple in a Complicated World I had a mini terrible day yesterday. The whole day was raining, I was carrying alot of barangs from school to CG venue and they were all heavy. The train and buses were packed, because it was after-work hours, and the traffic was atrocious. I concluded traffic would be atrocious at ANY PART OF SINGAPORE as long as it is in the after-work hours. On top of that, I had a very gracious uncle who splashed his umbrella's rainwater on me to "dry" his umbrella before boarding the bus. Not once, but TWICE. I don't believe in the superstition behind Friday the 13th and I still don't. I did not remember it was a 13th and a Friday until I ended CGM. Believe it. If Friday the 13th is really a bad day, we would ALL have bad days in EVERY Friday the 13th. But that's not the case...so yesterday was really just one of those irritatingly challenging days that I face every once in a while. It HAS to rain and make travelling inconvenient. Sigh. But can't blame nature cos it's the monsoon season. Not as if nature will stop it just because of me. But in the end I did get an MRT seat in the cabin. And I decided I should stop complaining and self-pitying. I think yesterday's experience in travelling really brought out the complaining attitude in me. I got to change. I am no longer simple if I become complaining inside, accusing God of certain things, blaming others...because that means I have become complicated just like the world I'm living in. And that means, I have lost the simplicity in my heart. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. -Mt 5:18 Labels: contemplative, daily rantings 2:59 PM
