Shalom Aleykhem,
First thing, this blog is not yet dead. Haha, I am pretty much alive and well as well as healthy. I am just too lazy to update my blog. Mi an hae yo!
There are wisdoms among the nation; said the sages and nothing could be truer than what I had experienced everyday: Traffic jam.
You might ask, something so annoying, almost a pest by itself, has anything to do with wisdom? I myself is amazed by such inspiration but it struck me just like a thunderbolt.
As usual, I am driving to university like every morning. I am stuck in the traffic and I start to have some evil inclination in my heart:
'@#$#%&* those cars, why can't they move faster!' that sort of things.
Then suddenly it came when I am looking at one car with a lady on board. She seems tired, wore out but nevertheless still on the road with me. Then I start thinking,
'If I, a student in his early adulthood complains about life, this lady besides me should be banging her head against the steering instead,'
What I suffered compared to them is considerably lesser and I do not have classes every morning. Just those few days I have classes this early but yet I start to loose my patient and start yelling, punching my horn as well as my devil-scared frown. After settling down, then it came to me: all this is a miracle happening.
Miracle does not only involved the splitting of the Sea of Reeds. For me, I have witnessed another miracle. Having to wake up early just to face this kind of situation everyday of one's life for the purpose of feeding oneself and one's family is no easy task. Those people who has to put aside personal comfort just to confront everyday's trial and tribulation is a daunting task.
This I see is a miracle happening in its own right, no doubt that jam is caused by wreckless driving, too much of cars etc. but the fact that it is there and the middle-class has to face it everyday at least twice is not something that we can ignore. I have learnt something important that day. Smile more to brighten your day, perhaps those who seen your beam will feel gladden as well.
No doubt it is hard, just try to bless instead of curse. May HaShem be with us all.
