 Hope everything will be better (26th November 2007, 18:36)
Today’s training is in the afternoon. According to my usual plans, after enjoying enough cold wind and taking attendance in the morning, I will immediately go back to sleep until I wake up naturally, then heading for lunch. I don’t know why, but today, there are a lot of messy thoughts in my mind and I can’t sleep peacefully. Dazedly, I suddenly remembered that when things weren’t going well for me earlier, one friend went to Yong He Gong to pray for me. From then on, even when my mood didn’t change for the better, the people whom I cared for most were indeed doing better. The weather is very beautiful today, so I dragged my buddies along to return the prayers.
It’s the third time I have been to Yong He Gong. I consider myself an atheist, so the first two times I went there is mainly to accompany my friends. When offering incense and kowtowing, I was just following what the others were doing, in my heart however, I was actually praying, but the prayers are mostly selfish ones, placing myself in first place. =P
But this is not the main point, the main point is: after the two visits, some tragedy will befall me. Once, my phone was stolen and another time, I dropped my wallet in a taxi =(
Some of my friends told me that I’m, in fact, spending a little money to curb a huge disaster, while some said that it’s punishment for not being sincere when praying to the heavens. Normally, I would laugh after that, but in my mind, I was actually thinking about how I can recoup the money I lost…
However, my opinion today is totally different from the past. Many things happened recently, thus making what I have said previously come true: changes exist in the world anytime. I really feel that there are some things, which we cannot see nor hear, existing in this world, so today, I went there (Yong He Gong) full of sincerity.
I actually didn’t make even one prayer for myself today, which is rather unlike my personality. And writing such solemn article is even more unlike my personality -.-“
But anyway, I hope my family, my friends and my fans (if there are any =P) will be safe and happy everyday. This too, is the state I want to be in right now. I don’t care if the gods exist or not, I just hope that I will have inner peace and spiritual sustenance. Do what you ought to and live everyday seriously. Face things you have to face with a smile. The rest? Just leave it to the friend who plans everything for us secretly.
