Random Realization and Things to Ponder
May 11, 2022
With all the chaos that the national elections caused, I can only praise God for His sovereignty and power.
There are billions of us residing in the Philippines and God made us all unique. Unique in a way that we have our perspectives. We look at things differently through each of our lenses. Isn't it amazing how we can derive conclusions and judgments just by basing on one issue? This is all God's work. Our brains are wired intricately so that we can reason out uniquely. We can be given one issue and we all have different thoughts about it. We don't easily get swayed by other people's opinions for we also make our sound judgments. What a powerful and amazing God, He is. Can you imagine and fathom how wonderful God is? Every one of us has perspectives yet He knows what is inside the heads of each one of us. He knows how many strands of hair we have. Same as he knows what is in our hearts- our pain and even our dreams.
In another story...
I have a colleague that is around fifty- years old. Every day her husband sends her to work and helps her to sit in the wheelchair before he accompanies her to her office. Every day that is their routine. At the end of the shift, her husband would fetch her. I don't know if the husband has work to do but I admire his consistency. It is just so fascinating to witness the man's patience and consistency towards his partner. He may need to go to work after he sends his wife to work but he never complained. He is so gentle and he smiles whenever I saw the two of them. He is happy while assisting his wife. The world is still beautiful. Love is still here. Some old people can still be in love like they are in their twenties.
I wonder if all would do the same? Would you stay if ever your partner lose his legs and got dependent on a wheelchair? Would you never leave your partner behind if she goes blind? What if he becomes disabled and he can't afford to work? Would you still stay by his side?
I know staying is an ideal answer and it requires true and unconditional love. But along with this choice, is the sacrifice for practicality. In the modern world today, we wake up every day to build our future. We want that harmonious life in the next five years. Now, if we choose to stay with our partner who lost his legs and makes him unfit for work, that would mean a long journey for us to be where we want to be. Plus, the time will come when we would feel that they are becoming a burden. But still, we can't afford to leave them because we love them. So, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health it is.
How about you? How would you deal with it?

If I found my the one, then I would probably courageously willing to commit and forever be wip to that person, I really admire people who can do this without getting tired and you can see to their eyes the love that remains like for the first time, dun tayo sa taong mag sstay at kaya tayong pahalagahan at mahalin hanggang dulo hindi yung sa una lang magaling. Parang sa gobyerno sana mga nanalo ngayong election hindi lang sa una magaling.
