FAMILY, LIFE AND COURAGE OF LIFE by Emmanuel J. Abraham Jr.


I'm thinking, my blog is already 2 years of age but no one is actually reading it except me and my sister who is currently living in Australia. She's so proud of me that words can't express how much she adores and loves me. I feel the same way to her either, and with that I dedicate this article to her.

My sister is one-of-a-kind! Very gentle and mature, she taught me a lot of things about life. She taught me how to survive and to share and give. Though sometimes quarell are natural to both of us, it never stop us from showing our love and care for each other. Every night I never forget to pray, for her to attain success and happiness, that I would risk my life just to protect her and repay the love and support that she provided me through time being.

I know to myself that it is impossible for me to have a family of my own, but I promise myself that I won't regret it. Why? It is because my sister, my mom and dad; they are my family no matter what. My life is not as interesting as the others. I don't have an award to show off or knowledge to share, and even money to brag, but one thing is for sure, I have a family that I can count on.

Things never happened the same way twice, and people live their lives bound by what they see as "right" and "true," that's what they called "reality." However, "right" and "true" are nothing but vague terms, and their reality could turn out to be an illusion. Everyone is living by their own assumption, just like me. I thought that I could attain success easily just by having an instant job and money. But as I have metioned before, things are not permanent unless the things that you really want are the one's you are doing. Life is not permanent, though I'm still young to do a lot of things in life, we can never tell when to let go or when to live. Knowing the fact that no one would read this blog except me or my sister, that's fine, as long as I can put my thought and my ideas here and maybe someday,,, someday, someone or many people can read this to realize that life itself is a blessing. I'm not even half way through success, but only perseverance shall true strength be gained.  I remember when one of my friends said that I have great potential in life, that I could easily attain success because of my personality and skills. But in reality, I'm suffering, because I really don't know my talent and skills, and I'm having an identity crisis. I don't know where I'm good at, and I don't know where I belong. I'm lost, and my path has too much obstacles that it seems impossible for me to finish. Sometimes I want to give up and just let it be. Let things happen and go to the flow of life without even thinking about the future and my next move.

I've dreamed of a world where everyone is happy, without fear and chaos. Even I, can see that there is so much hate in this world, and I wanted to do something about it. Yet I'm not sure what must be done, but I have faith that there will come a time when people can truly understand one another. It all sounds complicated, and if ever that I'm not going to find the answer, perhaps, I will entrust the young one's to find it. I really hope that they'll do!  I really hope... :)
