under the sun
what does it mean to be under the sun. technically we're all living on the earth's surface which the sun runs over every day. so we all do. though to be even more technically precise we actually go round the sun. my point is not astronomical. it is to say that we live each day not knowing our place, not knowing where we are.
at work we fret about the opinion of bosses. at home, some of us feel we'll never be truly one with our wives. we forget reality, we forget our place in God's perfect plan.
i am writing this on the lovely white beach on perhentian resort, with the sun in my eyes as i endeavour to tan my fat thighs which are white as boiled hainanese chicken. we all some distance to give us perspective on our daily grind. it's easy to just grit one's teeth and just pressing on blindly. but god won't have it this way. he brought us here to think about how we're going to live the remaining 45 years of our lives: fully conscious of his love permeating every pore of our existence, or as self willed petulant children mucking our way to disaster?
one thing that god taught me on this trip was the importance of putting oneness with my wife first before my own desires. when i forget that, i deprive myself and ruth the true bliss of marriage.
another thing that i learnt is that i need not feel trapped by work. all the frustrations at work are but illusions. my true boss is pleased with me so long as i have loved and put him first in my calculations. when i feel angry, i should just think that god cares as much about how i have treated his little ones and those he's shown great compassion for.
on a trivial but important note, i also learnt that i love my wife more than diving. it may seem trivial but it's an important step for me to cross :)
p.s. i don't think my thighs are getting any darker. sigh.
