Hello world I am back and actually I shouldn't be back,
But I am confident enough to spend a bit more time to think and blog. I just finished my Central Nervous System module written exam today. It will have to be the most difficult that is why I am confident enough to live a little easier now that it is over.
So what has life taught me these few days that I was away doing real world stuff...ok exams are more real than just blogging.
Anyway we like to complain whne we suffer. Over here in Ireland I complain about my loneliness...how I have no one to talk to....and how hard it is to find anyone who share my view of the world....let me tell you that I know more pro-Israel fella back home in Malaysia than over here....but then again you don't just go up to a guy and ask about his political preferences and you don't find unless the person is interested enough in it to actually bother to hint it in his conversations...but anyway back to loneliness. It is not a pleasurable experience and it is not one that i want or actively seek but from my lonely outpost I have the time to think and contemplate and do things that my friend sback home with commitments to church, family and friends are not able to do because they are so busy...so while everyone is busy preparing for Christmas I have a Torah sitting next to my bed and browse through in my boredom and yes it is true when God wanted to create man He refered to Himself as "Let US createman in OUR image"...the rabbis believe that it was GOd consulting the angels according to the commentary but as a Christians I see this as a reference to the Triune God...I have this tendency to digress but back to loneliness..so it enables me to many things that other people don't have time to...it is great to be with people but sometimes walking by yourself at night and then looking up to see the stars in a clear sky is one of the most wonderful experience..sure you would wosh to share this with someone but have you haven't been by yourself you would not have had this epiphany that you can share with others.....in conclusion, unpleasurable experiences are not things you seek out but there things to be learnt then or even something to be learnt from it if we are not too busy whining and missing the big picture that is.
