Blessings. Most of the Time, They Come to You in Disguise.

June 6, 2009, the date set to give me another chance to improve myself. Southwestern University had the same feel since i last visited it. It's only that there were more foreign aliens than familiar faces. There was a little rush inside me but it wasn't like it was when i was younger; less impure. But still, I felt like i was at home; a place i'm comfortable moving in.

When i first saw the group of people that i know i'll be dealing with for the whole semester, my expectations fell apart. Most of them were from places i've never been and they were far; very far from the city, from the lifestyle I'm used to. I'm not being mean but i just wanted to meet people i can relate to. And then weeks passed by and i learned to like these people. They were not what i wanted but they were way better; less corrupt, not ignorant; less complicated, not demeaning. They had simple wants and were happy to get their simple needs.

They've done nothing to me but they gave me a realization that smiling over the littlest things, such as a piece of bread, is way better than owning the biggest of companies; being famous; having every'thing' you want. Not that these things are no good compared to a piece of bread, but of the thought that there's contentment having that bread and a smile knowing that it can be shared anytime without losing anything but greed.

I've also learned that nobody is less to anyone. We are all made up of mud made to life, and we'll all be back to ashes in the end.
Not bigger, not smaller.
Not smarter, Not challenged.
Not stronger, not weaker.
Not richer, not poorer.
Not more, not less.
Because we'll all be judged fairly. Some will be rewarded, though most will perish.
But in the end, we'll pay.
