Emotional Baggage

Bought a trolley.

Yes, after walking from City Hall MRT to Tower 4 in Suntec, I felt like dying. It's a cool 30 mins walk with a heavy laptop bag...man I could SERIOUSLY have Monday blues everyday when I think of walking to and BACK...omigod.

Thank goodness I have customers to visit.

But I bought a trolley ...to put my haversack..so I can pull it along like a wussy.

I used to laugh at the sales people...calling them gu-niangs dragging the laptop bag like air stewardesses..it has all come back to haunt me...haha..

Henceforth, I will be pulling a trolley with my haversack from CH MRT to Suntec and back. Heck, call me a wussy but at least I wouldn't get a strained back.

And God rewarded me for my fortitude :) When 3rd uncle came to help us move the cabinet from mum-in-law house, it was put to good use.

So there you go :)

Talking about baggages, I was thinking of also the emotional ones.

After reading the past posting where I got a little too carried away - I got to thinking....after 7 years...I still felt so bitter and angry.
Why? This is the emotional baggage I carry .... nobody asked me to..I just did.

And what do we have to do to remove these baggages? In my case, I must learn to forgive.

Unconditionally.

Can I forgive them just as I forgive Yang when he apologises for his mistakes? So that there is no traces of anger left?

That is unconditional forgiveness which springs from unconditional love.

Like my lesson learnt in India, when you spent less time finding fault with a person, you have more time finding the goodness in him/her.

No one is born evil. (Let's not delve into the DNA semantics...perhaps in time, we can prove this hypothesis)

I suddenly remembered the Lord's teaching again.

"Judge not and ye would not be judged"

I guessed I do not have the rights to so .. righteously put people down. The Lord did said "Let the first man who have not sinned throw the first stone.."

I think I just walked a step towards putting down my emotional baggage.
