AK and them, so far

AK may not be fitted to many common long-established ideas of what a young man's address should be, a fine figure of peculiar graces in some manner or other. But they certainly have learned. They certainly have speedily comprehended his merits. And assured of his worth--one of integrity and sincerity.

Hard to comprehend

This is probably one of the hardest things for me to comprehend. In my competitive world, I am so used to thinking in terms of 'more' and 'less' that I cannot easily see how God can love all human beings with the same unlimited love while at the same time loving each one of them in a totally unique way. Somehow I feel that my election involves another's rejection, that my uniqueness involves another's commonness. Somehow I think I can only fully enjoy my being loved by God if others are loved less than I am.

Many are burning out sooner and sooner

Pervasively depressed, underperformed, a troubled student; I have been there. They agonized over the university, with its cushy hostels and canteens and almost flawless academic reputations and a promise of bright future. They agonized over failing to graduate. I left emotionally damaged, with a wound that seems to abide forever. Clear in conscience, that I am certain, yet still emotionally damaged for sure. Perhaps I wasn’t a good match and unfit to such places. Perhaps I wasn’t strong and resilient enough mentally/emotionally. I crumbled too easily. I burned out too soon. And actually, many are burning out sooner and sooner.

A month since 31 January 2009

It has been a month of encountering the person with whom I have made a promise and covenant to share life's journey. =)
