these few days.. quite ok..

hMM.. these few days have been quite ok.. went out with friends.. went out with Her.. helped some friends in maths and accounts.. made people laugh.. a good thing to me. i have always believed in humour and how it would help people enjoy life. not that i shun people who are depressed or people that are saddistic. yet, i would have to admit such people do arouse my curiosity about them. no doubt some are attention-seeking but the minute and fragile world that these people create for themselves make me wonder about the huge friendly world of love that i live in.

joy. its a weird thing aint it. the more u give it and sprinkle it into people's lives, the more you'll receive it. but joy ain't defined by jumping screaming yelling singing. it's not just facial or physical deeds. smiles, laughter in one's eyes and a little skip in one's walk are all symptoms of joy. and the only one to have joy is? to put Jesus then Others then Yourself.

selfishness. most of us were born with the inkling that whatever we do is for Our gain. not for the guy on your left. not for your sibing. but YOU. and this could possibly be the reason for the un-graciousness happening in our society right now.

Imagine a bank calls you up to tell you that you've emerged as a winner in a lucky draw. You win 86 400 dollars. per day. but, (there's always a but, ain't it) any money leftover at the end of the day would be taken out of the account such that you will always start each day with $86 400.



Here comes the problem. how would you spend that amount of money?
(cue: devil on right shoulder, angel on left shoulder appears)



You have such an amount of money every day. 86 400 seconds. 1440 minutes. 24 hours.
How would you use it? and for what benefit?
