It’s 3 in the morning..suppose to be doing revision because final’s is in 1 week’s time..But, was distracted by my laptop cuz the internet connection is connected..This leads me to start spending much of my time on friendster..again.. (=.=)
Suddenly thought of writing this blog..my 1st blog for my new account…so sad…my previous account is not gone yet..but i can’t sign-in!!Anyway..have to get over it…
Hmm…So many things had happened recently..And all this big & small events..All these made me pondered…for a while…
I thought to myself..Eventually, “WHO FRIENDS REALLY ARE ???” “WHO ARE OUR FRIENDS ??” “DEFINE THE TERM .” “ARE FRIENDS IMPORTANT?”
Well, I’m not going to answer all of the questions above because i do need guidance to these questions..Besides, the answers may varies due to different perspective on the term .
There had been lots of people walking in and out of my life since birth…Those i cherish the most–> MY FAMILY!! Secondly, FRIENDS…(for now…) I do believe everyone in this world have friends..Everywhere you go, people will talk about friends..Some are even proud to let the whole world know who their friends are..
So, Are Friends Important? To me, they are..this is because i’m indeed not a very independent person..or should i say i’m afraid to be alone..That’s a weakness.. =( I usually don’t like to do things alone..I like to travel in groups..I enjoy to be in a group..A group where I belong to..My comfort zone.. =)
To be truthful, since I went to uni,I started searching for a new “comfort zone” where i can be comfortable in..That doesn’t mean that I will forget about my previous group of FRiENDS..I missed those days so much…and We CRieD..together..cuz everyone of us are going separate ways to pursue our own dreams.. =”( although it’s just a short period of approximately 2 years, there’s been lots of memorable events & bits & pieces we have gone through TOGETHER..it’s the friendship bond that holds us together..
Well, what’s a friendship bond? For me, a friendship bond is built when friends really care for each other..What is the meaning of caring for each other? Care is an abstract word..You can’t really visualize the word “Care” because there is no specific visual images for abstract words.
According to Rollo May,1969, “Care is a state in which something does matter”. Besides, he also states that “To care for someone means to recognize that person as a fellow human being, to identify wit that person’s pain,joy, guilt or pity.”
*Rollo May was the foremost spokeperson for existential psychology in US for nearly 50 yrs. He was a theorist and focuses on his approach on Existential Psychology.
When you care for someone,it simply means that you would like to share the joy, sorrow, pain, bitterness & every other thing the person is going through…And we usually have a saying that goes “That’s what friends are for!” I feel that this sentence is so warmth when you realise that there are really friends out there that cares for you..And they are also the one you cared for..
Sometimes, I do agree that life is full of obstacles..When I was younger,I always think that obstacles are problems & i hate problems.I used to like to be a ‘care-free’ person..Had simple thinking..erhm..can also say that i hardly think deeply into something..err..hehe..
As time passes by, I started to ‘like’ obstacles that i met with..Why? Simple! Because I learnt & gain alot during the process of overcoming an obstacle.Well, I learnt to take good care of myself..I learnt not to blindly trust other’s promises..(this is because i take promises SERIOUSLY..all kinds of promises)..& the most important thing is that past experiences makes me a stronger person..And I’m indeed thankful that “He” is always there when i’m feeling down & upset.
I really can’t imagine what will I become or how my life would be if I have not accepted Christ..Well..it’s really a blessing for me to have such great neighbour that i met 8 years ago..It’s really GOD’s blessing.. =)
Kinda tired..it’s 4.30 in the morning…there still a lot i wanna write but i think my eyes do not allow me to..Hmm..will just talk a little bit more..”Will you be angry at others if you do not even care for them?” I will only be offended by people close to me..people I regard as FRIENDS..I just want to say that i’m indeed disappointed.. =(
