Faith

Arrrh, I finally managed to finish Flowers in the Sky. It actually took me quite a long time to finish it but the message conveyed is a little too abstruse that it is almost intangible. Plus, I think some chapters are incoherent and I was left with many question marks after reading it. Perhaps my comprehension is only available up to certain extent. But something really draws my attention and impresses me is the author touches Buddhism in this story. It’s true that religion serves you a sense of tranquility whenever you feel uneasy.

And speaking of religion, it reminds an incident which happened last Monday. The incident begins with I was invited to a talk organized by a church. And at first I was reluctant to attend cos I am not really into the talk and ultimately I am not a Christian. But at last I was convinced and thus attended it with the hope to gain some apprehension in life. The talk was okay though I almost could not catch on when it touched on Bible in the middle. The talk was later ended with a prayer which I had a strong feeling of being swindled. Still, I kept my shirt off.

Okay, there comes the point of the story. After the talk ended, several girls approached me and started to chat with me. We had some idle talk at first but there was a girl proceeded by kinda coaxing and brainwashing me to join Christianity. I replied with a grin saying I am not a Christian though I was a bit ‘eh hem’ at that time. I guess my refusal was too vague that she caught no ball.

She rang in another 5 days asking me to attend some lectures in her church and seriously I felt a bit offended. I know your good intention. I understand probably is your onus to propagate your religion and I respect it with full reverence. And I shall tell you now I am a Buddhist and my faith toward my religion are steadfast and I feel extremely comfortable with my religion though I am not the pious one. Therefore, I suppose no changes are needed thus far. By the way, thanks to the incident, I start to appreciate my religion each day.

Till then, see you!
