I happened to go home and watched some TV in time, it was showing something about ‘love in HK’ – it’s a session the TV station devoted to a little girl’s ‘misfortune’ happening. She is around 13 now, when she was 9, due to high electricity voltage accident, she completely lost her both arms. But the TV showed she was still swimming & under training, she was still using her feet to paint, she was still standing right in the middle of Causeway Bay with air going through her sleeves, her face smiling in joy and pride. She said it’s her biggest gain of losing her arms, coz otherwise she does not know she could paint, otherwise she does not know she has faithful family, and she does not know how it feels to have arms during those 9 years of her ‘former’ life. My personal self shrinks to less than zero when i could stand in front of the TV set..and tears rolled…Mom passed by and commented i was silly, she said sooo many out there are without limbs & don’t be over-emotional. I have limbs but not making full use how I could be, I scream when I have zits on my face, I worry my chin grows loose due to gravity, i get grumpy when client demands what i think is demanding, I groan when traffic sucks at time when I think is inappropriate, and day after day, I don’t learn but getting even more impatient. I have so much to improve when I have all the blessings already.

Whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the God of truth; he who takes an oath in the land will swear by the God of truth. For the past troubles will be forgotten and hidden from my eyes.
