A dramatic experience:
I was having my ride to attend a one hour class, just before I went to school I feel lazy due to cold of the rain, I haven’t ate my breakfast and my lunch for I was feeling so numb these last few days, a typical silence of persona makes me weak.
As I was waiting to get to school on my jeepney ride, I saw a little boy with his mother and a wheel chair besides them; he can’t walk, can’t talk and was very dependable to her mom. I was so conscious as if my heart was melting seeing that boy with such kind of condition. Then a plastic was place on his mouth and swallowing all the food he have eaten. I looked at him taking a sigh not to offend him by looking a pity eyes on him (his situation reflects on me really).
Looking at him from head down to feet mesmerized me-- how come this boy have the courage to face life in spite of all the challenge brought by his illness. This cold rainy day was not good for him; still they decide to get out for his condition was peril already. When we get near to the hospital where he will be confined, the people who are in the same ride helped them to get down, everyone was giving them a hand, even myself can’t get rid not to help them. The boy was very brave, as he was passing in front of me; I think he already knew that I was looking at him so I was in a shame sit for I don’t want him to feel the opposite means to give the impression of being ‘nakakaawa’, what I want him to see is for him to fight and continue to live, for at young age he deserves a long and happy life. But then he doesn’t give me a cheerless impression to his face, what he leaves in me was a great smile.
After a 30 minutes ride, everything in me turns into compassion.
- I can eat anytime, but I ignored my food unlike this little boy who can’t full his stomach for he only swallowed it and still trying to eat the food prepared by his mother.
- I can go to school anytime but due to the cold rain I feel lazy at some times, but this boy enlighten me to continue the ride no matter how far it is, on his condition no matter how hard the rain is, in order for him to survived and checks his condition he never gave up just to reach the hospital.
- I can speak and laugh, enjoy my companions, but I used to break the noise for I want to be in silence sometimes, but this child can’t speak and can’t laugh out loud for he is a deaf still he tried to break a person’s silence by giving a point of a smile on his face.
You’ll never know how a child will inspired you; how God used this child as an instrument in me not to forget that I have all the blessings. I have a healthy life, loving family, great friends and could afford the things that I wanted by showing a wide hand on my parent’s pocket.
I’m just feeling so lucky and so blessed. With this once in a lifetime experience, I want to share something for those who have read this incident of mine
"You are seeking the meaning of your life, and instead of allowing it to come to you, you are scrambling about looking here and there for what is right before you. Be still. God will bring you all you need or want if you Let It Happen."
