“If we suffer wrongfully, if we are misunderstood or despised, we must think of Him who was pure and holy, and who prayed for those who nailed Him to the cross, “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.””

–short story, The Leaf from Heaven
Long ago, I remember writing something about how fleeting life is. And because of that, we must live our lives free from grudge, remorse or any other negative emotions available in this world. I’m not saying that feeling that way is unacceptable; it’s just that we must learn how to release these inconsequential emotions as soon as we thoroughly felt them. Then, forthwith press on.
How I wish to handpick things the way I want them to be done, but haplessly I cannot. I credit the cliché which claims that time has its own phase of getting along with things, but I lament with the idea of the more I wait for it to act on its own, the more it does not. It’s the time where in things appear to be more ironic, paradoxical, and sarcastic.
Now, I enter into the realm of figurative languages and idiomatic expressions, where in every images have their own implied meaning. Understanding them now depends on how am I going to interpret the things I see and hear. I can choose to use the figure of speech, conceit, which means an elaborate or strained metaphor, by this I could allow fanciful ideas to float and swim inside my mind to wash away the negative thoughts hovering around. I can choose to be a boneheaded in utilizing my skills when it comes to idioms, meaning, I could be numbly stupid to just keep silent and assume that thinking positive is a good counter attack in all of the situations. Fine. I never question the authenticity of that fact. It’s just that, more often than not, skeletons in the closet are just too big to hide plus, there are things that really get into my nerves that pushes me to rake over the ashes.
Some are just too close minded that they cannot see and hear the things behind a situation. They invent their highly imaginative stories just so they could convince others that they are the ones correct. Paulo Coelho’s novel entitled, Veronika Decides to Die, states that “People can be deaf because in their subconscious they do not want to hear.” The line manifests in one’s life during the times that someone is too absorbed with his or her own beliefs – not entertaining other people’s point of view and explanations. Truly, how bleak people could become…
“We will never know how high we are until we called to rise,” from the film of the American Legend, Seabiscuit. Getting into a higher level of something requires courage and perseverance, all because it is never easier to climb up a ladder than to go down. Nevertheless, we are rest assured that we will have a better and more ample horizon to look upon when we reach the top.
Thankfully, my Starmaker is alive, not only alive, but He is also just and kind. He knows an entire story without having any bias. I will continually hold into patience while waiting for that day when my Starmaker will redeem my heart as well as my loved ones' heart. Surely, overflowing bliss will outshine and will be known through my true blue smile.
