The Story Of The 2 Monks.

haller peepz!? wazup wazzup?? tagal kong nawala noh?? eh kasi BUSY eh.. and i mean it literally!? neways.. this day as my mind was set off to another planet.. i had a thought.. "does letting go also means forgetting that you've been wronged??"..

there was this story that caught my attention during the sermon of the pastor.. there were 2 monks on their way to the temple,, on their walk they passed by a lady who's having trouble crossing the river.. "we could carry you if you like to.." said the 1st monk.. "thank you.. you're such a nice person" said the lady.. so the 2 monks carried the lady and crossed to the other side of the river.. after saying thank you again the lady went off.. "look how filthy my clothes were from carrying that lady!?" complained the 2nd monk.. they walk several kilometers more and then the 2nd monk complained again.. "my back hurts because of carrying that woman.." he heard no reply from the other monk.. so hey were off again.. after some distance the 2nd monk couldn't take it anymore.. so he exclaimed.. "i cannot walk any further!? my back is killing me because of carrying that woman!? aren't you tired or something?? i haven't heard you talk for a while now.." "do you know why you keep feeling the pain?? it's because you're still carrying the lady behind your back.. but me?? i put her several kilometers ago.."

hay naku!? most of us tend to be the 2nd monk.. always complaining.. always crying our hearts out because of the burden we bear.. but did we consider leaving that burden behind us so that we could move on freely and happily?? it's not just "forgive and forget" type of dillema.. it's about leaving everything,, and i mean everything behind us.. the anger,, fear,, hatred,, the urge to get revenge,, the pain that we are carrying.. everything!? and by doing that you can be sure that on your way moving on there will be nothing that will hold you back..

i just feel so stupid right now.. all these things i'm saying.. bakit ba ngayon ko lang nalaman at na-realize lahat to?? nakakainis tuloy!? but at least naliwanagan din ako noh?? after all this time..

grabeh sa serious ang entry ko ah?? sorry ganyan talaga pag nakikinig sa sermon ng pastor.. (mrs. miriam perocho words aren't enough to tell how much i am blessed with your message..) hay naku!? sana naman this week will be a good one.. after all PRELIMS ko.. wish me luck nalang mga peepz.. bahbher for now.. mwah!?
