Proud being a ...
So what are you, my friends proud being of? There are hundreds of possibilities that you can put or substitute into that phrase. But how committed are you in saying that? I had friends or maybe some strangers laughing and mocking me for doing this and that in life. Such as my passion and my religion. However, I always think, what do they do in life actually and are they proud of it?
Yes, I am a scout and I am proud of it. I sweat and shed blood for the scouting movement in Singapore for a couple of years now. Of cause, compared to the veterans, I am still a long way from them. However, I'm proud that I have been involve and serving this movement ever since I took the Promise and Law. People always have the mentally that scouts are for gays and are for sissy. (I used to think that way too!) But when they finally realise that scouts are learners, thinkers and doers, they will beg to differ in their opinion. Two men I know recently was chatting with me. One of them was laughing and mocking me about scouting and when his friend told him that it isn't true of what he said. He asked why. I was quite impress that his friend had an honest and truthful opinion about guys with scouting background in army. He told the other guy straight, that these guys survive better and are more skillful in rope works and survival traps than any other ordinary men that entered army. I take that as a compliment and thank him for it.
Yes, I'm a Christian, although I am not like those who goes to Church and meetings very often. I am still proud of being the child of God and being part of his kingdom and family. Yeah, I do agree that people do joke about praying to God for this and that. But they never realise the power of prayer. I have witness it by seeing myself escape from dangers as well as simple stuff like examination results.
I have spoken to this lady a while ago. A tough-nut and love-able at times (who isn't love-able in this World eh?!). She mentioned about their previous boyfriends to me and was telling me about certain personal stuff about them (I shall not disclose). Well, it made me think about when in a relationship, how will the couple feel about each other in front of their friends? I hate to say this, but I always feel that as friends, we should support our friend that is in love with that person. However at the same time, protect our friend from getting hurt (beside love sick and break-ups). NOT!!!! tell them that their love one is not fit for them and that they shouldn't carry on the relationship cause you two don't seem to fit.
SCREW those who are out there spoiling relationships! I mean yeah, if you meant well that the person is taking advantage of your friend or making use of your friend, go ahead and tell your friend. But the choice still lies with your friend! If first impression of the partner of your friend isn't good, why not see him or her over time as who they really are and then re-consider about your impression for him or her. First impression are not 100% accurate all the time. Do not make judgement based on first impression (although I have to admit, I do most of the time to avoid trouble or backlash).
Thus, ask yourself today, what are you proud being as and if you're attached, are you proud of having him or her, your partner?
