Time came to me fast and without notice my very life unfolded with so many marvelous events leading to the present. I never had that moment to stop, thinking what tomorrow will be. Wandering places of beauty, sculpture by the elements of mother earth and the hands of the Divine, made me question the way these were done and for what purpose-for peace or for all of us to let go and just be a passer-bye. The places visited were all so beautiful and it gave that feeling of tranquility. In a world, where the race for existence is grave, the very air we breathe seems stressful-not relaxing.
Stress, it seems, is inevitable. Even by merely sitting on a chair isn't what I call relaxation. And life is passing slowly in front of me with nothing but void existences of follies brought about by me sitting still-or even standing in one place. Being bounded by many worries makes life dull and change being so depressing. We forget that life here on earth, the flesh that housed the spirit, is but temporary and shall later return to dust. The end when our purpose is gone to waste is definitely realized.
Gaea is marvelous. She has cradled us so as to be of definite purpose to her infiniteness and her children which depended solely on her and her Master. It took me a while to realize this as I slowly come out of the shadows which brought me regrets and disappointments.
Months ago, before the end of the first semester, my father was asked as to why I was taking up methods of teaching. As stupid as this question may seem (being very obvious about the reason why a graduate should take up methods of teaching), my father answered what a parent who has supported his child would-"My daughter wanted to do a lot of things, and as a parent all I can do is support...." I have not done anything wrong in taking units. And I think it is not my fault to have brought about certain dumbness toward this person who has asked the question.... That person is bringing about stress in his/her life by worrying too much-curiosity can sometimes be deadly especially if it from a person who does nothing but degrade another for personal profit. They do not know the happiness they could give others. They are persons, who don't want to think out of the box. They are what I call people who made failures out of themselves.
One of my mentors told me that as beings created by God, in His image and likeness; we should be responsible enough in besetting our lives to perfection for God is perfect. But what is perfection? What does it take to be perfect?
God gave us only his image, not His ways-His perfect ways. We are surrounded by problems which God can solve in a blink of an eye, and by which we can barely survive. And this makes us worry a lot. Why do we have to get a job to live? Why do we have to have a boss who's a total pain? Why do we need to study without the assurance that we'll have employment in the future? Why are there people suffering and hungry while others live in luxury? Why are we different from the rest? With these questions we see human race stumbling. How can we be perfect?
Perfection is dependent on our purpose. And purpose is dependent on how we make our lives meaningful. Making our lives meaningful depends on our actions and the principles that govern it. Each of us is unique in the sense that we live to help others just as colors are made different to make everything beautiful. A painting is considered dull if all we see is white. Then again we may say that white is purity-cleanliness. A fact that we've been cleansed by all that has troubled us. But what made it result to such? Science brings about this answer if we just analyze.
Another mentor told me that science actually brings us further to the reality that there is a GOD. A day, in those six days the world was created, may be a thousand years in human life. The color White, on the other hand is the totality of the combine colors that makes up the rainbow. In Science, the said colors are produce by an object called prism. It divides light (white) to seven colors that comprises a rainbow. Therefore we can say that we see a rainbow because of elements that acts as prism produced about by the raindrops from the rain which caught up and divided light, reflecting it to the atmosphere. This is as same as human beings that in unity we can also create a rainbow. Now, another question may arise-how can the prism work that way? Just like the heart that pumps blood, the lungs that breathes in air, and our eyes which allows us to see-Anatomy and Physiology shows us God's marvels and wisdom....
Faith is the assurance of things unseen....
In this lifetime, divine intercession is within reach if we try to pay kindness forward. To live life to the fullest is the best way to express gratitude. We learn to appreciate and love ourselves that choosing to be happy, despite of difficulties, make us do things that can help others. We admit our shortcoming that in turn helps us acknowledge what's needed to be changed. Mediocrity from other people seems to be an encouragement for it is a proof that we are better than them. In the end we realize a degree is nothing compared to the character we show (for whether the coin is two-faced, the mirror shows who we really are). It is up to us how we make use of it....
Man creates his own stress. From sitting still to working loads of stuff, what forbids man to enjoy life is the seclusion of him to others. He makes life a bore. He works for himself alone and he sticks to being a leech-sucking life from others, to a crab-pulling others down. They want to see-not feel. How I pity them....
In this life full of stress, as troubled as we may seem, there are things which we cannot explain-things that seem unseen-but in truth the answer is right in front of us. If we just try to see our mirror image more clearly, then maybe we'll see that stress after all is but of our own doing.
