WORDS. is a powerful tool. It heals and kills people – emotions, feelings…literally. Do all sick and elderly people become self-centred they could not be a bit kinder? It’s true that it’s unfair that one has to bear through the pain and sufferings. But when efforts been shown, albeit not up to expectation, why not view glass half full instead? Unintentional (or intentional), hateful, hurtful as well as insulting words are just sputtered, wrongly justified by so-called reason.
Be more forgiving to sick people, they’re in pain, they’re unwell that’s why they’re cantankerous and petulant. Are explanations that have been given. To the extent when they feel like it’s just turning a blind eye to what should be set right. When hands are tied, then comes the great ability of mankind, adapting. Slowly accepting and adapting, until where the point that it hurts much lesser as when it first hit.
Nonetheless, been really thankful there are great support around. Offering both tangible and intangible gifts that one doesn’t know how to repay but to return in the form of spreading the kindness to others, and to myself. Family, good friends, ex-students and students (sons and daughters alike), ex-colleagues and colleagues as well as medical staff.
The eyes have wanted to be like the sky here recently, producing some water. Yet, they haven’t been able to. It was worrying as recently they have been working non-stop for the owner for some impractical but vital activities, of running away from the reality. Until the moment the familiar rhythm plays again, and together with the empowering story of how the character in the MV rose against all odds that the waterworks proves the worrying wrong – it’s just that the switch has been upgraded.
“The sky has no limit My future has no boundaries
The me who break free from the cocoon will fly towards a clearer sky
If the road ahead is far Take a look to the past
See the you in the mirror of how far you have brought the past me to
How many times the scenes of losing control appears in my heart
How many sarcasm came furiously to the ear
How many nights of losing sleep Have you ever felt like living one day that feels like years
Nearly collapsing
When I desolately await the coming Spring
When I quietly let the tears fall in my heart
When everything is against will Who has never complained
Advance and retreat are all within that moment of thought
The sky has no limit My future has no boundaries
The me who break free from the cocoon will fly towards a clearer sky
If the road ahead is far Take a look to the past
See the you in the mirror of how far you have brought the past me to…:
