dunno if i've posted this before, but for some reason was reminded of it today. thus:
¡kcilc
thinking so much about the choir trip problem, i'm reminded about all the past times i've been overseas with friends or family.
to some extent, it's always a special kind of bonding experience. in a strange land, we've more relaxed, because we don't have to follow any rules or expectations of our society. we're just a bunch of friends, is all. we can talk, appreciate things that we don't at home, even though they may be there just the same. not just the world around us either.. each other.
but then, after it all, sometimes nothing seems to have changed since we've left and returned. like with my family.. and sometimes though the relationship isn't quite what it was when we were there, we've grown up and learnt something, about ourselves, about each other and about life since we've returned. we may not be able to be the same way we were overseas, but we've gained from it. it benifited our relationship somehow..
it's all just another reason why i like to go on such adventures with friends.. because that's really what it is. an adventure into each other's minds and lives, and an adventure into God's world, literally. His creation teaches us about so many things.. that's just how i feel.
but there are always problems.. there are groups of people i wish i could have such an experience with, that we could really go and gain something, become closer and get to know each other better. maybe it's idealistic.. but i've always preferred to be; either that, or purely pessimistic. extremity of expectations always brings pleasent surprises, or infinitely better results than what i may have acheived if i had expected less. but then, of course, there are the times when i just fail despite it all.
life teaches in interesting ways, and i just hope i can remember it all.. and then maybe God will let me bring these things i've learnt in my little memory into eternity. maybe.. we need to learn to go on a holiday in our own land. it is the harder thing to do, compared to in a strange land.. but then really, how much do we know of our home. admit it.. we just don't appreciate it enough. the desire to abondan it even comes once in a while for some, more frequently for others.
but maybe, if we can go into that exploring mode, trying to learn, being open to other peoples' cultures and habits and seeing the best in other people, right here at home, we can build better relationships just like that..
maybe we just need to go into holiday mood more. not slacking-sch-hols mood, but overseas-exploring-holiday mood. because that's what we should do more. explore and learn about one another.
then maybe, we could all be a little more understanding.
