York University Day
Well, we GAS students have the opportunity to visit Seneca@York for some seminars and coffee.
What am I thinking today? A lot! Its getting pretty nice in my abode. Mom and Dad both preparing the house for the blessing on Easter Sunday. I keep on remembering how my Dad is so smart, he always give me advices that are very vital to my decision making. My Mom is very religious and I absolutely thank her for always guiding my spiritual development. Indeed I don’t want to become ignorant, but indeed I don’t want to become too devoted. A good balance is just fine.
going to another side of my story: Nowadays, whenever I listen or see salesmen, or people from insurance firms, TV Shopping Channels, etc. I always think that my spiritual self gets tainted. it absolutely manipulates my psyche. They think that I’m a failure when I’m not. They think that I’m a loser when I’m not. They think that luxury is the only thing that would make people happy. They want me to become a materialist! To become hip, to become cool. Sure I would enjoy watching people, but one thing I would absolutely stick in my mind that my dad also told me is "to be alert".
But you know what? I got a comment from my Mom about this. There are people who just want to get out of school and work, then there are those who want to continue being educated… I’m the latter and its indeed a good thing. That’s why I want to pursue languages. I want to indulge my spiritual self with many things. I would love to travel around the world where I would not rest… I will love work and I will not do any siesta. I will work with people, I will speak their native language, I will get involved with their culture. I will do something that no one would likely do. People will not feel safe about this world by looking for places where they can rest. There is no rest in this world. Human beings are naturally lazy and we all have to overcome this. Even reading a book? come on! those people who don’t read books do not realize what they are missing.
