misunderstanding

When I first saw this quote, I thought it's really ironic that the person who posted this was the person with whom I had the most severe misunderstanding with.

I am not sure if the two of us will ever truly come to common understanding one day.

I too, have given up on trying to go the distance and 'fix it' in many occasions lately.

When it seems that there is misunderstanding..
And it seems that the other party has decided on taking whatever action he/she deems fit,
I just let it be and shrug it off.

 Don't be too virtuous, and don't be too wise. Why make yourself miserable?
 - Ecclesiastes 7:16
 So don't be too good or too wise! Why destroy yourself? (NLT)

 I never forget this verse from the first time I read it.
But it takes me so many years to finally agree with it. Now.

Jesus spoke of the weary who carry 'heavy burdens'..
I guess this is one of those heavy burdens we are not meant to carry.

It's not our job to fix all the broken relationships and misunderstanding.
Some deserve it and some don't. Some are meant to be and some aren't.

In any case, we learn that we owe no one nothing. And that way, we are liberated.
Live our life and devote our heart for the precious few who matter.

Hmm..

si mahasiswa NTU yg bunuh diri itu denger2 namanya david. sigh.. mgkn final year presssure was too much to him. jadi inget masa2 kerjain final year project, tinggal 3 bulan dan gua maseh blank. untung ngga masuk berita ky dia. life is a funny thing. well since there is a chance that this may not be a simple suicide, lets not assume so. maybe there's a truth behind this. duh.. jd inget kalo di conan trus dia bilank, "ini bukan bunuh diri.. ini adalah kasus pembunuhan!" jadi serasa mao jadi detektip -_-

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...
