Disturbed?

Our attitude in life sometimes determines how founded are we in relating with situations we experience. One friend, left an offline message asking for comfort and prayers for her friend who just died recently. She was greatly affected. Sure, it was painful and she was disturbed of the reality of losing a love one who had just faced death.

“Samok,” are we disturbed with noise when we are trying to focus ourselves with office works? Yes. Whilre Reading a good book or novel and here comes your younger sister asking for money to buy something, will you not be annoyed? Maybe.

We have always the wanted to be comfortable at all times. IT is good, pleasurable and always longed. What does disturbance brings us? Negative. But not realizing, we are annoyance or disturbance to others sometimes. Even death disturbs our peaceful mind. True.

“Samok,” for most people doesnt bring good. Wait, let us see. Samok brings contrast, stir our feelings and emotion, thus makes us human, leads us into realization of being vulnerable, and to recognize our unpreparedness, our weaknesses hopefully gives strength and helps us to grow; grow and be mature in confronting ourselve’s capacity to appreciate “samok” even in very little instances in our ordinary day in the office, in the class or even in the market.

We tend to always find for lieasure, but most of us fail to recognize the implication of all-comfort or all-leaisure lifestyle.

The bottom line is: as an individual, are you prepared to face “samok” at this very moment? How prepared are you? That’s life. Expect the unexpected.
