I don’t like it when man’s character goes awry.
This afternoon I tagged along with my colleagues to go makan at NTU. I got into his car and he began to share his life. Lo and behold, this 30 year old male colleague of mine is a father of a child aged 6. What’s more, he smokes everyday. When asked if his children ask him to stop smoking or not, guess what is his reply?
“You don’t care so much. I smoke non of your business. I earn money, you spend, that’s all.”
His reply shocked me through and through. The male colleague I’ve known for 2-3 months is such a person.
True colors shocked.
I have nothing but more negativity.
On the other hand, one brother-in-christ smsed to me today that there are a lot of wonderful and responsible brother in Christ in the kingdom of God. I can only say, I will just keep my fingers cross.
Most people don’t start out like this. I guess. This colleague is 30 years old. Perhaps stress and change of values get over him with time.
Back in school at the night classes, I bumped into the 3 friendly guys I was revising with last term. They are just in their 20s. Without a family, without a car, without a fantastic career, they are just simply living simply. There is such a peace and simple friendship present when I relate with them.
What a huge contrast between these 2 age groups. Is it that with age, and exposure to different people that caused people to change so much?
Perhaps not. Perhaps people need to define their own values. Then, no matter what comes our way, we will always stand firm on our values.
