Destiny's Claim

Friday, September 02, 2005

Was talking to a friend for a while and he was ranting for the good one hour that we talked about how people these days don't seem to appreciate the things that he puts in to better his situation.

Why aren't people noted for what they did? Even more so what they didn't do? Usually it's the silent sufferers that are the most sacrificial.

It pains me to hear a friend so close, who has done so much for me, say something like that. I always thought people would like him for the way he is and for what he's done. Perhaps it was a naive point of view to take, that everyone would simply appreciate him instead of using him for their own means.

How can it be that we fail so often to recognise the simple beauty of a person, of his soul? Someone tell me how. The priceless jewel in the truckload of coal shining out from the dark depths and no one, no one can see it.

As i left him, he was crying coz it hurt him so much, for everything that he had invested and yet to be stabbed in the back. I believe his tears are still there. I think they will still flow...if not for him, for all the other people who knows how he feels.

And till the world learns to value people for who they are, and not just what they have done, they will continue to flow from our Lord's eyes. For those who never see the value of a soul and for each soul that is torn apart by the world's doing.
