Happy National Day to all of you out there. Singapore live on. Of course I don't go around saying that. It could kill me. There is a limit to every worldly pride. I shall only boast of Jesus Christ, his death and resurrection.
Why do so many people associate soldiering with national pride. Soldiering is a profession. The media tells you that soldiering is for 'the defense of the nation'. 'It is a sacred duty'. Truth be told, these are not lies. But these are superficial to the true nature of soldiering. It may seem like fun, but soldiering is one of the most painful, bitter, tragic, terrible, miserable professions to be in. Why do I like it then...am I abnormal? Do I seek out suffering for its own sake? No. I don't understand it myself.
Then, another question. Is loyalty a virtue today? Have we become so INDIVIDUALISTIC that we FORGET what is really IMPORTANT? Has loyalty become an ideal? An ideal reserved for samurai of yore? Exponents of bushido? What has become of us? Why can we not speak of loyalty without being SARCARSTIC? Why do we seek to please ourselves and not the more important beings?
Man is sinful.
Only God can control.
I live in an age in which loyalty is scorned, and the loyal are the hunted.
Only God can control.
God defend us.
