Going back to not long ago. (A rather sad part of my life), i remembered the people in it. There were the nice ones, the nasty ones and the ones that PRETENDED to be nice. They made me understand that sometimes, outsiders see the picture clearer (more objective rather than taking sides).
I remember a certain Math teacher in Form 5. He told me a story. About a bird.
"On a very cold night, a bird was flying in the sky. It was so cold, that it froze and fell to the ground. As it was dying, a cow saw and decided to take a dump on it. The warmth from the cow dunk warmed the bird up. Soon, the bird began chirping and singing. Then a cat heard the bird, dug it out and ate it. The moral of the story is #1 not everyone who shits on you are your enemies #2 not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend and #3 when you're in deep shit, shut up!"
To you, it may seem like a lame/pointless story but to me, it meant the world (at that time at least). The story opened my eyes, told me that, it is okay that you're alone now because we all pay the consequences to our own actions. And that it is important for use to learn acceptance.
So here, I would like to thank this inspiring teacher (although he did not write the story) for sharing this with me. For it is this story that kept me going at that time.
Thank you sir.
PS: I miss Sri Garden. a lot.
