Vantage Point

last week nakatanggap ng masamang balita ang kasamahan ko dito, his mother died. at first tinago pa n’ya ito sa amin, it was only after 2 days or so nang sabihin n’ya ito sa amin. i tried to comfort him, ang hirap kasi ng ganito, losing someone when your oceans apart from them. believe it or not, but i actually said some encouraging words to him.

in return, he asked me to attend the bs [pag-aaral ng banal na kasulatan] sa k’warto nila. i said to myself wala namang masama diba? in fact this is not new to me, i was very active in church activities during my youth. how i’ve ended like this? i really don’t know. in short, dumalo ako ng bs, mejo nabaguhan yata ako, although i know what the leader is talaking about mejo nahihirapan na akong i-digest ang bawat sinasabi n’ya.

after the bs, the best part is next, kainan na! hehehe! nagluto sila ng arroz caldo, and while eating they invited me for their xmas party. dahil nga makati ang dila ko, umentra na naman ang pagiging honest arogante ko. “sensya na, di naman kasi ako naniniwala ng december 25 ang bertdey ni kristo e”. that simple statement sparks a friendly debate.

they asked me why? i explained my points, it’s something like this, it’s a pagan practice that was christianized. mahirap tanggapin kasi nakasanayan na natin at naka-kabit sa pangalan ng ating tagapagligtas. but come to think of it, matutuwa kaya siya sa atin kung isinasabay natin ang pag-diriwang ng kanyang kaarawan sa kaarawan ng isang diyos ng pagano?

in christianity, there must be no compromise, whether you believe or not. pagkatapos ng mahaba kong litanya, i know merong natapakan ang ego. who cares! they’ve invited me, kung nagsisisi sila sorry na lang sila dahil inimbitahan nila ako. if they can’t gasp what i said on that meeting, maybe they need to read their bible more and history as well.
