OKay so you're thinking why was my title of this blog like that, and I would very much want to share about this..
it didn't happen to long ago.. I was on my way home from cello lessons, at bishan mrt reading Jefferson Bethke's Jesus>Religion on the mrt till I reached amk mrt, thinking that I shouldn't bother about people's glance, b it that I was wearing a ribbon hair accessory that looked lika bunny ear, or the fact that people will be judging cus im reading a Christian book, I had this feeling of like, "hey, Proud to be a Christian, Y'all. and well,the next thing that happen after I stepped out of the mrt, smack me hard, right in my heart's face, if my heart even had a face to start with.

So I chose to take the stairs instead of the lift or the elevator down to the ground floor cus the nearest escalator spoiled and people are really squeezing to get to the escalator and use the lift and I don't like squeezing with them.. so I walked to the direction of the staircase..

so holding protectively over my new book, I made my way to through the crowd to where the staircase was, only to realize 2 old couples were making their way down the stairs too.. they weren't ordinary couples though, they were travelling and feeling their way round with a lean white cane, finding their way to an exit that may lead them down from the platform. Yes, they were a blind couple,holding hands, trying to figure out where they were and how to get their way round what ever that was unfamiliar to them..

 as they were making their way down, 2 strangers, both Indian I guess, approached to provide their help, apparently, nobody was either kind enough of free enough to give a helping hand.. and I was one of them. I felt ashamed, ashamed that I was not helping people just because im 'busy' reading a Christian book.. ashamed that that is what most Christians are now days.. and although im new im classified under the same title judging eyes as them. I was again reminded of why people had such bad impression on Christians... you may have the bible cross, Christian books, Christian roles,responsibilities, plastered on and all over you.. but your actions, your heart for  loving the people around u speaks of your God , and even yourself as a refection to Your King as your community, so much more than these titles...

And how important is that.. you know? Proclaiming that u are saved from the Almighty God, but acting as if you never tasted the Grace of God that u never bothered to care about any other people than yourself.

Claiming goodness, but through actions were none like it, maybe, in fact, the opposite...

I followed behind quietly, w awed held in my heart at the 2 Indians who went to help out of own initiative. I was feeling really bad, like why didn't I provide more help and assurance when I could have. Ashamed that I didn't approached them to help when they obviously were needing it, I tucked my book away, under my laptop bag, kept it close, didn't open it up to read it till I reached home..

You know that feeling of uneasiness or unrest

it was a great reminder for me though

to be reminded that I will not want to end up like "labeled" Christians.. but someone who actually acts boldly out of pure love and concern for the people around them, to provide really good help , and I don't even have to LOVE them, but do it because u want to do it, like an own personal goal, motive.

 so as these 2 Indians held firmly onto each of the couples' hands to lead them down the spiraling stairs, telling them that they are leading them down  a staircase, making sure that they did not miss a step while going down stairs and telling them that they were in safe hands.. I was really thinking and reflecting.. on actions.. I couldn't be more ashamed of myself.. really..

so yes, part and parcel of seeing life as it is...

Persp 2:

The couples were blind. And they trusted a stranger to lead them to their destination though it seemed unfamiliar and had areas that were possible for doubt to arise and may be even seen as legit fear, but they trusted their path in Goodness, and they were really in safe hands.. blind folded physically, but they had a heart full of faith and trust that it is amazing..
it shows you that when u really trust in something and not doubt the Goodness in something that it promised, it will see u through, You achieved in moving from where you were to where u are now.. all because u had faith, and that is how I realized, that to move on from one part of your life to another really requires a lot a lot of faith and trust during the situation of uncertainty and movement. Trust in God for now and have faith in his plans for u:)

Persp 3:

I mean hey, we are aware that the escalator wasn't working, but why should people squeeze and rush all the more like there was a closing time to the mrts at that timing, I mean,it's so selfish man, like only looking after yourself , but not about the people around who may need more help in moving round the area than you? So much to your own comfort that, disadvantaged people were just left to be? some of those who could easily walk down the stairs or walk to the further escalator didn't do that, they squeezed their fleshy tired lil bodies into and elevators that wasn't made for them in the first place.. people who really needed to used them were instead tossed aside and not look after. and shoved to walking the stairs that in the first place inconvenienced them so much!
How ridiculous! it really makes me wonder the use of upgraded facilities sometimes.. is it really to benefit those to REALLY ACTUALLY HAVE NO DOUBT NEED IT or just to FEED OF THE LAZINESS of perfectly functioning human beings?

sometimes.. really, technologies created these days are really taken advantage of too much that it doesn't seem like it matters anymore, but it enrages me though , that the main purpose of it aiding people who really needs them was defeated and instead, use to make already lazy people even more lazy.. The way it's going... not matter how Great or Awesome or High Tech the Upgraded facilities were, if no rules or responsibilities or lines drawn or measures taken to ensure the effectiveness of them upgrade.. Then this upgrade of technology would just be So much more of a harm than its initial good for the society!

So yeah, Inventors, upgraders, if you are ever reading this.. I hope you've noticed the same scenes that are happening every where at different areas of our life, and do try to keep these really wonderful creations and inventions really work for its own purpose rather than just let it breed laziness of people. It'll change a lot of the way things work.. I promise.

World, really.

I have to keep tht in mind too though..
