would you be proud of your decisions?
It's been lon- okay, I've gotta stop saying that.
It's funny how manga can teach you deep lessons, and there are still people who think that anime and manga are for kids. Coincidentally, the two manga I have been catching up with had one particular theme that they revolved around. It caught my attention in some way or another, maybe because God wanted me to learn that as well, haha.
What they revolved around was "decisions." As cliche'd as it sounds, but very strongly true, is that the decisions you make now will greatly affect your future. In these manga, the decisions that had effects like these were, the bad ones. Just because hero A didn't choose to wait and jumped to his conclusions, he didn't get to end up with the girl he loved, and landed himself in a long long journey of mistakes after mistakes, guilt after guilt. Just because hero B chose to chase after girl B because he thought he loved her more, he lost his chance at girl A because his cousin made the first move, only later to discover that all these while, he loved girl A most.
What we choose to do now, will have consequences. A lesson that I have to learn. Sometimes I think that the reason God doesn't strike me with lighting or tells someone to slap me into realisation is because of His grace. Sometimes I also take His grace and love for granted, even though I know things can get pretty serious like Matthew 5:29 & 30. Or maybe I don't really know. Sometimes I think, that I can be really stupid.
