Life is Full of Surprises

We just need to keep optimism in life. If not, we cannot move forward and realize the beauty of it. This morning, I woke up and feel grateful that I am still alive. I waken up by the neighbor and his taxi driver at 6:30 AM. Instead of feeling weary, I just think that the world is not a perfect place to live in. I was surprised that I did not feel grumpy because of this. Good morning to ALL... Is there anything that surprised you today? Image Credit: brewminate.com

Good morning, Shavkat. myLot has been very slow today. I've been watching guys playing video games online. And I normally don't watch such things.

I am quite slow now since I am teaching while mylotting. I do not have the patience to watch video gamers online.

That neighbour and the taxi driver still waking everyone up at 6 am? Is that everyday thing?

I listened to a homily of Fr. Benigno Beltran, SVD. He was an agnostic wallowing intelligence in engineering when he was in college. Excelled in calculus and all subjects. Believed in himself. Till one night he stared at the stars and imagined the infinity of the universe. Subsequently, he marveled at the greatness of the Almighty Who held the universe. That is why Fr. Benigno became a priest. In his intelligence, he was marveled by the Creator the Almightiness he couldn't fathom in the deepest recesses of his mind. I was surprised at the revelation of a priest who had been a stronghold this pandemic year.

@Shavkat Priesthood is apostleship. You are correct. Although you are not a priest, you can always be an apostle by caring and loving others.

Before, I thought I am going to be a priest. But then, my parents did not allow me with this idea. At the back of my mind, I can lend my hands to others even if not being a priest.

@rakski Indeed. If they deliberately disrespected me, I will make their lives in hell.

When I was a child, I used to be scared of it.
