Fear

It is another cold rainy night while I sit here waiting for my assignment. I took this time to communicate with you again my friends in cyberspace. I hope you don't mind if I confess this lump in my throat.
It makes me sad that sometimes people misunderstand each other for various reasons: be it cultural or psychological. And sometimes it's just about priorities. Sometimes it's because of fear. My neighbor made a scene today because he was fearing that if his daughter isn't going to find employment soon then they will be in trouble financially. I know it was fear that made him drink and created a scene in front of our house.My fear prompted me want to file a police report but then changed my mind. But I will have fear now.I will never be able to look at him the same way. The friendly gestures we gave one another everyday as I come home from work will never be again.

Someone was with me tonight to listen to my worries. I never gave this person much credit in this blog but he did turn my life around. Then I receive an email from another friend telling me how concern he is and that I should be careful. I feel so comforted. One day when I am old I will look back to this single moment. And marveled how things changed...the way people in the past marveled at the Renaissance.
