There were a few books i brought along with me throughout my trip in China. there are also some books i bought during my journey too. two of my favourite reads: a biography of Mother Teresa and Helen Keller.The number of books i've read during my trip is more than the books i've read for the past 30 years of my life. but then again, i am a 'forced to read' kind of person. i am not those who will pick up book to read automatically unless i really have nothing to do, which is seldom the case...
I just don't know why i am always busy when i am around with friends and family in Singapore. My friends told me i have too many obligations. i agree. at the end of the day, i will always ask myself, what am i busy with and why am i so busy? I am in search for the answer as well...and at the end of the day, i have to account my time to God. i want to be busy with doing the work for Him.
Just to make use of this moment to share with you what i came across in a book of Mother Teresa:
"In the developed countries there is a poverty of intimacy, a poverty of spirit, of loneliness, of lack of love. And there is no greater sickness in the world today than all these...
There are many kinds of poverty. Even in countries where the economic situations seems to be good one, there are expressions of poverty hidden in a deep place, such as tremendous loneliness of people who have been abandoned and who are suffering."
