Weird thing happened yesterday, mum came to visit and gave me something to keep at home. Apparently she went to a medium recently as she heard from my wife that things were not going well for me. We had to send our helper away as she was always complaining and comparing, even though we gave her tv, etc she still wasn't happy. We had to send her away.
Then my wife's health isn't so good so have been assisting her, worse time especially when her helper is gone. My own work isn't going so well, even working 72 hours straight last week ended up in a bad state.
Some quarrels between relatives were also pretty taxing although i try to be neutral as much as i can, helping whenever i could in between with some advice and 2 cents about their renovation and furniture choices. All are dear to me.
<Shortened version>
I won't even go into details about how a silly contractor i recommended to relatives just doubled his fee when quoting them. I asked my neighbour who recommended him to us, seems like some may have offended him with some unmeant remarks and that sparked it off for him. Just like one that i recommended to Meng asked me within earshot of him, will they steal my parts or tyres? In the end, he still gave them a discount on my account but i really felt bad and bought him a drink.
One thing is for sure, i will just continue to do what i can for my relatives but my candle is really burning out fast.
Now, going back to the conversation with my mum, apparently seems like the medium knew what i have been doing especially in Johore as well and said some pretty embarrasingly kind words and told my mum i will be blessed for what i am doing. I was gladdened by their words but will continue what i am doing, thankless job or not.
To bros who are continually discouraged when doing a good deed even when people suspect you or doubt you?
Don't stop, i hope this encourages you, continue doing it not just because of them or any rewards but because of what you believe in.
Give money to charity and help others when you see they are in the need, money is just a digit to
most of us but to some, it could be the next meal, education or other things.
Even a relative of mine was helped out once by an Indian gentleman who supported her education.
Though she isn't close (not by any stretch of imagination) to us but felt a tinge of kindness from this
kind gentleman even though i wasn't the one he helped. I hope that he will be blessed.
Good people really exists in this world, please be kind not only to animals, but all sentient beings.
Human beings are actually the most to be pitied as they have to go through more obstacles than most
other beings in life and has more responsibilities than most of them.
Most of our anger comes from sadness and disappointment especially from within ourselves, be kind to others
but remember to be gentle to ourselves.
