Hello everybody,
let me tell you a story i heard during devotion today.
there is this lady who was waiting at the boading area at the airport one day.
as she was feeling bored,
she went to buy a magazine and a bag of cookies to keep her buzy.
she then sat at a chair and placed the bag of cookies beside her.
she opened the mag and atarted to read.
then, a man came over and sat beside the bag of cookies.
the lady took no notice of him till the man reached into the bag and took a cookie out.
the lady was horrified but folowed suit,
taking a cookie out of the bag as well.
they went on like this, each cookie that went into the man's mouth made her even more furious.
till there was only one left.
the lady thought 'hah! lets see what this man of great odensity would do now.'
the man reached into the bag,
took out the last cookie and broke it into half.
he popped one in his mouth and offered the other one to her.
this made the lady mad.
how dare this man take her cookies and share her last cookie with her?!
she ignored the cookie, picked up her bag and left the borading area.
she boarded the plane, still in fury about what has just happened.
she felt hot and opened her bag to take out her water bottle.
when she opened the bag, she was caught by surprise.
an identical bag of cookies lay in her bag, untouched.
this made her realise the obvious.
the other bag of cookies was not even hers in the first place.
that man had evidently been sharing his cookies with her after all.
should she have burst out in anger then,
she would have embarassed herself even further.
she wanted to apologise to that man.
but it was too late.
After i heard this,i started to think.
like, i guess that i am like this sometimes.
when things happen to me and i get reprimanded,
i would blame anyone
but never myself.
i probaly fit the saying
'You see the speck in others.But you cannot see the log in yourself.'
Aain, this reminded me of what happened last night.
i got scolded by miss wan because of the dorm6 thing.
i swear i was extremely angry at harpreet.
yes, totaly.
but to think of it,
if i had not got myself into trouble in the first place,
i would not have to be in dorm6.
and harpreet would not have any excuse to ask miss wan about me.
and i would not have been so angry.
Sometimes, its not others fault that we get into trouble.
We have to learn to take some blame for our wrongdoings.
I guess i should really apologise to harpreet today.
Its not totally her fault either.
To my loved:
i'm sorry i shouted at you.
i know its not your fault.
but i was just extremely overwhelmed by what has happened.
i am really sorry.
really.
i'm not lying.
get it?
you know you love me...
