Human beings vs human beings

In this new year 2012, studying more of this is not only interesting, it gave lots of insights. Here and there, we come to know someone is close to another, another one is not close to their next of kins, what more to say?

The blood group, the genes, the different family tree and ways of life/growing up, food one needs to take all accounted to any human being, how one is moulded into the society.

Once, my immediate superior told me, the hardest thing to handle in work is to handle "human beings". That question lies in my mind for long. Indeed, it is very difficult. One day, while I sent some new year tangerine oranges to a convent, I had a short conversation with a sister. She told me, it is never easy to work with the adults. I quickly agreed with her. Deep inside me, I thank God for whatever he gives me, I used to deal with young children. It is not that I can easily manipulate them but rather young children like young bamboo shoots, they can be taught, easily bentable, not until at a later age. But on the other hand, I dealt with many adults too. Some are older, some are much younger than my age. Of course, there is one or two always trying to expect another to be like them. Well.. then comes my thinking, can't I be what I am?

What more to say, a happy visitation can end up as an unhappy one, have you encountered? It is time for people to recollect what are we in this world? Who am I?

To sum up this, we should be happy of what we are, who I am and not who so and so is? Who so and so is better than I?

God gives everyone fairly in this world, it all depends on how one grasp the opportunity to live the journey. It is never how smart you are, how much you earn a year. It is rather how much you have SAVED. To live the past with no regrets, to live the future with HOPE, to live the present with help around those and lastly to have good FAITH in you.
