Hello everyone! Just some random musings here. 

A few days ago I vented out some Good and Bad news and happenings of my crazy boring life, well not that boring just a little, hehe! I mentioned that my uncle was recently diagnosed with cancer in its advanced stage already. The siblings haven’t disclosed this yet to everyone, except me, for the reason that I am in the medical field and my cousins needed some thoughts about it. Actually, not much help I could give other than some advice.

However, this article is not totally about it. 

This evening, I got a call from my cousin, the daughter of my uncle, and she vented out some concerns about their problem. Aside from the financial strain, some of the siblings are still dealing about family issues and past resentments.

Moreover, I got caught with this - An eye for an eye? Not actually being said verbatim, but I guess this is what the eldest daughter desired to imply in the conversation.

They have this broken family and my uncle abandoned them for another woman. So, during those years, the children suffered emotionally and financially. The eldest didn’t finish college, others were able to self-support till graduation, while the father’s girl of course finished college with the support of his father. All in all, life isn't fair all along for some of them. 

It seems that the emotional baggage from the past was still so enormous and fresh from the children. But, I don’t want to talk much about it, coz as this quote goes, it seems that I’m not in the position to comment.

"Where you stand on an issue, depends on where you sit."

So, I can only pray for forgiveness and healing for everyone.

Anyway, for the sake of discussion, I want to ask you, do you think karma should be measured by its measure? An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth? Perhaps we can say that it would be fair, and that we will be judged fairly under the heavens. But, in these circumstances, my heart bleeds. 

Will you abandon a person who once abandoned you? What if it happens to be your father or mother?

I don’t know. 

I think I can only act out of kindness, if there is no respect left in my heart.

Thanks for reading everyone! A bit busy here because I need to catch up with work from my week long of sick leave. Talking about health, I'm good now, thank God!!!

We can't tell unless we're on their shoes. The damage that incident had caused them may can't be explained that we can truly understands. If ako naman, i set aside ko na muna yun kasi nga the damage has been done, so let nygones be bygones and just support each other and pray for the father to be well

Yung father ko never naging mabuti sa mama ko nong nabubuhay pa, pero nong time na nagkasakit at nahospital si papa, inalagaan pa din ni mama hanggang sa mamatay. Naniniwala kasi si mama na si Lord na bahala at ibigay nalang sa papa ko yung kapatawaran na yon. Kaya ganon na din ginawa namin sa papa namin, pero still depende padin kung pano naghold ng grudges yung mga iniwan ng tito mo po.

I understand your cousin. Espescially knowing the fact that the eldest didn't finish a college due to lack of support. I don't know what to say from the situation but I believe in the quote that we will never understand the pain of others, not until we're in their own shoe.

Yah it's hard to say especially if we're not in their shoe.

Broken family din po kami. Iniwan din po kami ng tatay namin pero sa situation po ng cousin ang hirap po talaga. Medyo may sama din po ako ng loob sa tatay ko na nang iwan sa amin pero hanggat maaari po ay iniiwasan ko na palaging balikan yung past and gusto ko na lang mag focus sa present.

ang hirap talaga nyan sis.. actually, i can somehow relate because my brother is also like their father at this point although ala pa silang anak ng kanyang babae but of course there's emotional and psychological pati financial crisis na sa part ng mga pamangkin ko at sa sister in law.. hayz.. kahit ako naiinis sa kapatid ko..but we are called to forgive but it's just so hard especially sa case na ganyang naabandona and then ngayun na may sakit na, parang wala lang lahat ng mga nangyari before... hayz.. ambigat!

Ang lalim din nagdahilan sa emotion nila ate kahit overview lang sinabi. Forgiveness lang talaga ate yung tipong mag-usap ng masinsinan kasi alam ko both side may deep reason.

It's easy to say you won't until you get to experience it for real. The pain one feels from being abandoned is quite real and I wouldn't expect such a person to just forget it and do otherwise when the tables are turned

Indeed we can never point fingers when the worse comes to worst.
