After a long long 2 days drive from Cape Town, I finally arrived at Witbank Mpumanlanga. This marks the end of my study years and the beginning of a journey of middle adulthood. This is a scary and exciting time of myself.
Something really interesting to realise--- how I missed home on the first night away from it in Bloemfontein. I guess I will just have to get use to it one day at a time, bit by bit. I am sure that I will get to truely enjoy the freedom of 2007 working in Witbank :D
Here's to myself, to 2007~!!! Happy new year :D~!!
Keep u all updated..hehe

The blind spot in everyone's heart
It is a scary thing but I bet it is a fact, there is a blind spot in everyone's heart. What you hate about the person you hate is probably what you don't like about yourself. It is pretty scary:( The Johnny's story is still deeply impacting me, it allows me to see I could be just as blinded.
I wonder, if what you do not like about other person is what you dont like about yourself; does it also applies to what you like about other people? I hope this is possible even through there is so so little love in this world... so little that we always seems to find it easier to judge or criticise than to complement and praise.
I truely hope that is true.. there is a small hole for love to transfer from one person to the next.....

Just a thought on to be or not to be proud...
Couple days ago, I heard someone complaining about how proud a certain human being was (let's say we call him Johnny at the moment). Johnny has an income of over 30000 a month and he was so proud about this that he looks down on the complainer and others.
I took it in Johnny's angle and realise how he can be & should be proud of himself. To earn 30000 a month is something to be proud of (yes although this is very materialistic), he has the right to be proud I guess which is the positive I saw in Johnny despite the complainer's dislike of him. I thought to myself, Johnny has the perfect rights to be proud yet it is his decision to be or not to be proud...
I think, the moral of the story here; is ultimately we do not and have not got the right to judge. And I dare say, I don't think even God has the right to judge someone like Johnny...!!? What in heaven/hell is wrong with being pleased with your achievements? Was God not pleased with his creation before he rested on the 7th day? So, as heavenly as God was also proud about his achievement; who exactly are we to judge?! If we want to judge, let not judge Johnny alone but think about ourselves and possible even God?!
Why do we, human beings like to punish each other and ourselves with jealousy, proud & self doubts? The person who seems to prevent ourselves from happiness and paradise is clearly the image of ourselves. Next time, when you meet little Johnny in your life journey, do be kind and a little more thoughtful because Johnny is a happy guy on earth. What evil would we be commit to stop another person from being just that.... happy?
