i just found out some terrible news about a distant friend and i still remain dumbfounded with what i had heard. a big part of me knows that not everything i heard were probably accurate, but the very fact, that this same friend, at the very least, took part in some horrible situation and was caught red-handed, i can’t help but feel for him.
we’ve always been taught the lesson on how to be careful at judging someone else when you have a speck in your own eye to handle (or something around those lines, this diet i am on while writing this post is severely correlated with my memory decline) but somehow we, being humans, seem too eager in criticizing than analyzing. i often remind my students, “be careful of what you decide (meaning on being a jury on a fate of a friend), you may be in their place one day”.
so to you my friend, it appears to me that this is not the real, high you that i have always known. sometimes cobwebs get in the way in making sound judgement. sometimes, clouds make it even harder to see. i am sorry to hear about your situation, and i pray for light that you may be able to choose and stand for what is right for you. if where you are, however, is your true self, i salute your courage. it is not upto me, or anyone else, to say that the path you’ve chosen is wrong. it is your journey, it is your life, and to that i agree. i just hope you choose well.
