Wounds

And just when you have gotten the lay of the land.. The ground underneath you shifts.. And knocks you off your feet.. If you are lucky you will end up with nothing more than a flesh wound.. Something a band-aid will cover.. But some wounds are deeper than they first appear and require more than just a quick fix.. With some wounds you have to rip off the band-aid and let them breathe and give them time to heal..

Should I HaTe The PeRson?

i lost my phone two days ago.. i rode a cab and when i got in the driver asked if i got a type AB blood.. i said no.. i asked him why.. he said that he is really frustrated because his daughter has an acute leukemia and needs type AB blood and that he is on the verge of giving up.. and i understand how the driver feels because i have been through some situation too when my mom had a kidney transplant and my sister was the donor.. maybe not totally the same but the frustration of your love one being on a very critical condition.. i even advised him not to give up cause that wont help and he might regret it for the rest of his life.. the driver told me that he has a donor but however he wasn't given enough time to come up with some amount to pay the donor.. and he is so frustrated cause the donor threatened him that he will give it to another person.. i really understood how he feels and i just said that there will always be a way.. and the driver said that if he wasn't scared of stealing.. he will steal just to get the money.. and i said thats not good and he said i know.. if only i had some cash that time id give him some but i am down to my last bill and i still needed to withdraw money.. and as i was about to get off the cab i told the driver ill pray for his daughter.. and the moment i got off he drove off so fast and when i reached into my pocket to text someone i realized my phone was not in my pocket anymore.. and i am sure that i left it in the cab cause i sent a text to someone while in the cab and after i placed my phone in my pocket again.. so i immediately called my number using my other phone and boom!! its already turned off.. so it was with the driver.. yeah i am partly to blame but what bothers me is why would he do such thing?? is it because he is so desperate?? that i can understand but why would he say such a thing about stealing if he didn't return my phone or if he saw my phone on the back seat he could have told me that i left my phone.. why did he drove off so fast?? i am not concerned about my phone anymore cause i can replace it but what really bothers me is his situation.. i don't know if i should hate the driver or what.. it already came up i my mind that maybe it was God's way that i will be able to help the driver.. i accepted that fact but i just felt betrayed by the drivers words.. he said that he is scared of stealing and that it is bad but still he didn't return my phone which is still stealing.. and the mere fact that he wont be able to sell the phone right away cause it is locked and it will cause some amount to have the phone opened since it is a registered phone.. and it is hard unlocking that phone and would certainly cost some amount.. and all the networks will be blocked as well.. i don't know i am just bothered with what the driver did.. i wasn't expecting him to do that since he sounded really sincere when he said those things.. was it just coincidence or it is really hard to trust people nowadays even people who seemed and looked so sincere??
