Life's Impracticalities  Life's Impracticalities Greenbelt, Makati, May 2004 I was taught early on to not sweat the small stuff. Recently my wife and I’ve been reminded by a bible verse saying the same. How many times in the past have I jumped in on something and joined the fray because what I was seeing wasn’t in accordance to what I thought it should be? “Why did he do that?” “I can’t believe they even thought of that.” Or “If I were her, I wouldn’t have done it.” Such mindfulness often lead to added burden on oneself. Worse, a loss of self-value, plus the feeling of being unappreciated for all the efforts or loss of energy at the end of the day. More often than not, such isn’t really an easy decision. It is tough to know when to say it’s not my business vis-à-vis saying “call me when you need me, I’ll be here for you, all the way.” The impracticality of my childhood dream of becoming Superman has now dwindled to being just a human being short of being just Invisible Man on some occasions. Now the useless times of eavesdropping, prying into other’s files and life, or talking against another behind his back, are gone. I have focused my energies to positive things like trying to shed weight, to be a better husband and person to my wife, my family and to God. In the present family issue, I will be there in the background and see where I could be of help. It is impractical to be in a lot of places at the same time. Bookmark this post on:
