Some months ago, a friend of mine was having a “little” problem. (Little in my eyes but great in his eyes). He used to talk to me each time we meet but never asked me to help…humbled and very hardworking, the sky simply refused to smile at him…..I made a mental note of helping him once certain things get well for me… I placed him in my mental picture, hoping I will be one of those to make him smile…
And then, he suddenly disappeared…. I forgot all about him thinking he must have found a way… until recently when I came across a relation of his…. I asked after the boy, and was told he is dead…the problem that I thought is “little” actually led to his demise, though my informant is not aware of this… B
This has been a reason I have been sad in the past few days… so sad….and very dejected… my sadness couple with a domestic disagreement with someone that matters overwhelmed me… but it has no capacity to crush a soul tempered in a divine furnace… A soul built with the template of endurance and.…
How we all think of things as “little” when the suffers see it as life threatening… it is human nature to underestimate other people’s problem until the problem become intractable even though we can easily make sacrifice to help the other person…
I am changing my profile in memory of that “friend” (though we are not very good friends due to an infraction from his part.) perhaps, if I have given all I have, he would have found hope and still be with us… but I was not at fault as he never know my intention nor could I know why he moved away from the area…
To this, I recognize that one day, I may also disappear…
To those I have wronged (consciously or unconsciously), I appeases you!
To those I have made positive impact on, never forget to do or say something positive to someone else….
To those who hurt me… I forgive you from the depth of my heart…
To those who have helped me…that I am yet to repay… I assured you of something greater than what you have done…
To the rest of us I am just a man like you with a simple heart… hoping to make a difference in someone life everyday..Nothing special…
To all my friends and those who love me, I will not disappear today…but life is a cruel joke… just when you think you are starting, it may come with shocking news…. NOBODY knows tomorrow… Whatever we do today have a reward…
As long as I am around, I will chirp I one or two things to show that I have not disappeared… and to show that you are all important…
To you all, I feel the need to say that I love and cherished you all…
Let us use the moment of our contact to show that we care….you never know how much you love something or someone until you lose it…and you never know when a man will permanently disappear without trace…
You are all angels!
