Some thoughts.. (Bus Enthusiasts)Time now is 2:13am, and I just can't leave my thoughts aside and go to sleep.. In a 6 more hours and I have to report to school for lesson.. A bus enthusiast (i am not going to name that person) called me and chat about certain things just now for 1 hour 43 minutes and 7 seconds.. Right now, instead of feeling very tired, I feel otherwise, and the Lord has prompted me to blog about it..
As what my nick says, "Broken world... Broken people.. The lack of love .. The lack of something in their life."
Everytime when my CG meeting or church service talks about love in the sermon, it really makes me feeling quite down.. It's like I see a broken world out there, with broken people that lack of something in their life.. Whenever I compare my church/cell group friends with other friends of mine, I can see the significant difference in them..
Something which really burdens me a lot in the bus enthusiasts community, is the friendship among one another, the way they treated one another... Sometimes I am thinking, that how I ever wish if everyone in this community will be like me, having my type of character, and having peace both in the cyber world (forums and MSN) and in the real world out there, showing unfailing love among one another... But... Right now, with all these things happening on in this broken world, it's really very hard to salvage it.. More and more chaotic stuffs have been happening around, and at the rate that it's going, it's going to get worst each moment..
Sometimes when I think back of the times when I am still a very novice (or noob which some of you may called it as) bus enthusiasts in Year 2005, I find that this world is really super duper ultra ultimate unfair, and it's very true in this very cruel world.. Back then, I also do commit mistakes and offend other bus enthusiasts in the forum at times, but I received numerous chances and forgiveness from the seniors especially. It is even to the extent that some people in z8 private forum almost wanted to kick me out.. Through all these years, I find that I have changed really a lot especially in terms of my character, really thankful for that...
Coming back to the present (currently), I really see a great change between the different generations within this community here.. Although age gap between the different generations may not be significant, but the conficts, misunderstanding, broken friendships, chaos.... has been happening around.. It's as good as saying that this is a broken community.. Sometimes, I just think that how I wish if I can just don't give a damn about it and let the situation carry on like this forever... But.. the HS somehow spoke to me, that I should share/carry the burden that is happening around currently, and doing my best to change the situation around and eventually experience a great revival in this community here..
For now... I shall see how the situation goes for the next few weeks or months, and I will share my thoughts from there again...
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV)
