I just recently received an
e-mail from Mysue, a fellow consultant, that Mr. Ramon Enriquez, the
facilitator for our Negotiation Skills Seminar last Nov. 16, has
already passed away just yesterday...
News like this never fails to give me a shock. It reminds me of how
precious life really is, and how in just a matter of seconds, all can
be taken away from you and you just cease to exist. And how, with just
a snap of a finger, you are transformed from SOMEthing to NOthing. Then
I remember Morrie telling Mitch (Tuesdays with Morrie)
to wake up everyday and have a little chat with that little birdie on
his shoulder-and ask if this was the day he was to be taken away...then
his only worry would be to live each day as if it were his last, so
that in the end, he wouldn't have regrets. I may not have known him
personally, but I know he's been special to those whose life he has
touched.
Which reminds me of the task at hand for my Theoper...I know how easy
it is to utter those words, those 3 simple, yet very meaningful
and profound words, to them. All I have to do is to open my mouth to
let out the words. But it's the taking the courage to actually say it
to them (and when to say it to them) that's the hard part...Then
there's pride...But really. Is pride to take over such a simple task,
when the worst thing that could ever happen is that you'd only regret
your actions for what you have done (or not have
done, for that matter)? Then all you can do is sulk and reminisce of
the if's, but's and why's. That'd truly be sad. It's not even
worth a milliliter of piss for a trouble that's no trouble at
all. I don't want that to happen. So I better muster up that courage,
and soon...
Men are truly irrational beings. Why do we fear something we are sure
of (this time around)? We know that love exists between and amongst you
and your folks. Yet you fear. Yes, because fear is brought about by
that nibbling uncertainty that men continue to harbor amid security.
(Or maybe, one cannot be truly secure if this is the case). How much
security is secure anyway? And then there's pride yet again.
***I feel like Carey Bradshaw.
Lol. Hey...this was worth some pounds of neuron to get out of my brain,
what with a growling stomach...
**Incidentally, when I tried
typing kpk(real name-1st n last).co.uk, it led me to a site
which contained some article about the Dying Brain/Afterlife
hypothesis. Hm...
"...Do not worry about tomorrow
for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own" Mt.6:34
