A few days ago, my classmates and I made a visit to the main campus of our school. On our way there, a fallen old acacia tree was cut to make way for the jeepneys because it's blocking the way. It so happened that the tree just fell down recently that end a jeepney driver's life. He was the only casualty on the said incident.
Finding out that sad news made me fall into deep thoughts lately. Life may be sometimes unfair in the eyes of the people who choose to close their minds to find out the reasons why things need to happen this way, that way, and whatever. As for the ones who try and struggle to understand God's plans for us, we define life the other way around. But life is unpredictable, it may not be the appropriate word to define a four-letter word it is sure enough to be true. We never know what will happen after reading something, we never know what will happen if we cross on a traffic road, we never even know what will happen a few minutes after working. All that we can do is to make a difference in everything that we do in every second of this precious life of ours given by God.
Making a difference is quite easy to say but putting it into action might be very hard especially if it is against your will. But what's life without risk? Besides, making difference is just something you make out of the best in yourself with love and content in your heart.
Think about the poor jeepney driver, do you think he made some sort of a difference prior to the incident? Surely, he also wanted the fact of having an effort to make a difference in his life; or even the chance to repent or to fulfill his ultimate dream.
It could have been the time when we visit the main campus, it could have been me, it could have been an old woman passing through that way, it could have been the street children sleeping beside it, and it could have been my friends or even my family. But it's not, and partly speaking, I thank God for that.
We never know when our time is and all we've got is to make an effort today, not later, not tomorrow, not even the incoming days. Because how do you think it feels when only you can say is if only? Time moves forward not backward. No pause, no stop, only play.
